Cambridgeshire Army Cadet Force – Make Your Mark

Essential Information



Eligibility

 

You must be aged between 18 and 65 years of age, and be capable of passing the necessary security and criminal records checks prior to working with young people.

 

Time commitment

 

Adult Instructors attend one or two evening parades a week and occasional weekend camps. Ideally you will also attend the annual one or two-week camp, but this is not compulsory.

 

Pay and expenses

 

As community minded volunteers Adult Instructors do not join the ACF for payment, however there is provision to receive payment for a set number of days each year as well as being reimbursed for official mileage and out of pocket expenses whilst engaged on ACF activities.

 

Employee rights

 

Being an Adult Instructor will be beneficial to your personal CV and may also benefit your employer in terms of your personal development. That said, the organisation you work for is not obliged to give you time off to meet any ACF commitments.

 

The increase in flexible working provisions in the UK may help you to fit being an Instructor around your full-time job. Aside from the annual camp, all ACF activities generally take place outside of office hours.
