BEING A CADET LEADER

 

Army Cadet Force Officers and Instructors come from all backgrounds. Some have previous military service, some are ex Cadets, and many have no previous military experience at all. 

Providing you are medically fit and can pass the necessary criminal records and security checks you are eligible to be considered for a post in the Army Cadet Force. After a final interview you will undertake a period of basic training over evenings and weekends

 

As a Probationary Instructor, this appointment is not a military one and applies only to Army Cadet Force. You are now required to attend a Detachment near your home location which will parade once a week.

 

This basic training will prepare you for a week long course run by a Regular Army Cadet Training Team. Successful completion will lead to your appointment as a Sergeant Instructor. Whilst not specifically subject to military law, you are expected to conduct yourself with honesty, integrity and discipline and up hold the ethos of the Army Cadet Force at all times.

Up to 21 days pay and allowances are payable each year for a full days training at the Cadet Training Centre or other specified location. But remember you are a voluntary youth leader and you may not get paid for all the days you do over 21 days if there is no Paid Training Days left in the pot.

 

Within your first 2 years of service you are required to attend the Cadet Training Centre, Frimley Park, Surrey, for a week long Basic Instructors Cadre (course). Those successful on the course can then be considered for further promotion as vacancies arise, subject to continued satisfactory service.

Those who process additional qualities and abilities may apply at an early stage for consideration to become a commissioned officer. You would be required to undergo officer selection procedures in which you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your leadership and management potential. There is also a commission board interview. If successful you would receive a Territorial Army 'Type B' Commission, becoming an Officer in the Army Cadet Force. As an officer you WILL be subject to Queens Regulations and Military Law, requiring higher standards of personal behaviour and integrity both on and off duty.

If the answer is "Yes" Read On!

Because

As in any Youth Organisation it requires good Adult Leaders.

We in the ACF are no different we are always on the look out for potentail leaders to help our young people.

You don't need a military background to join

Within our ranks as leaders we have many different backgrounds we have

• Teachers
• Nurses
• Homemaker 
• Cleaners
• Fitters
• Electricians
• Construction Worker 
• Binmen
• Factory Worker
• Civil Servants
• Security Guards
• Police Officers
• Youth Workers
• Lorry & Bus Drivers
• Unemployed
• Managers
• Fire Fighters
• ex soldiers
• ex cadets and many more, so don't worry if you think you have no skills to offer, everyone has something to offer even if you don't know it.

The good thing is everyone starts of at the basic level.

Many of you probably think "I couldn't do it!"

• Well you don't need to be super fit, you won't be asked to do anything if you feel you could not do
• If you are young and fit and want to jump over the obstacle course we will train you
• If your not so young and fit there is plenty more to do
• We will teach you all the basic skills involved in the syllabus
• We will teach you how to look after young teenagers
• We will teach you how to teach those young teenagers to become better citizens

Commitment

If you have one evening per week to spare, 1 weekend per month, and can get time from work for a 10 day camp in the summer then that is all thats asked of you, we close down in July after camp until September to give all our adults a break to enjoy their own holiday.

There is no call up to reserve service as you are not a member of the Armed Forces, you are a "Youth Leader" in a uniform
