Upbeat: Volunteer as a Police Cadet Leader

Do you have an interest in supporting the development of future generations, and a passion to try new things? Being a police cadet leader could bring you the excitement and adventure you’ve been looking for. Volunteer as a police cadet leader and experience policing in a new light.

You do not need any policing experience; we’re looking for people who are willing to take on new challenges and can commit to the training and opportunities that being a cadet leader can offer you.

We currently have four sections that meet in Derby, Glossop, Buxton, and Chesterfield.

We are looking for new cadet leaders at all four of our units and hope to open more units across Derbyshire with the intake of our new leaders.

The cadet groups meet weekly in the evenings and are also regularly invited to additional events, awards ceremonies, and day trips. We’d need our new leaders to commit to

attending and volunteering at a minimum of one session a week.

We would be particularly interested in people who have previously worked with children or young people and are willing to learn new skills. However, no previous experience is necessary, if you have an eagerness to learn, a keen interest in policing and a desire to work with children, please apply.

As a leader, you’d gain experiences and qualifications such as:

• First aid training

• Risk assessment training

• Safeguarding training

• Leadership training

• Youth mental health first aid training

• You’d also experience the Duke of Edinburgh Award as a leader

• You’d learn more about the police

• You could help develop our youth voice within the force

• You’d have the opportunity to attend different ceremonies and events across the county
