Trustee Treasurer Volunteer - Gateshead Sea Cadets

Volunteers must be 18+ years old.

DBS:
DBS check is mandatory.
Interested volunteers would be invited to the unit for an informal interview and visit in the first instance.
At this visit they would be able discuss their interests, skills and the position that would best suit them.
From there, they would then complete a volunteer application form where they will be asked to provide details for 2 references.
They will then undergo an enhanced disclosure check and ID check.

Training:
All new volunteers are required to complete mandatory e-learning modules. This is to ensure that you gain a good level of understanding of Sea Cadets practices.
These courses include:
• Adult Induction
• Sea Cadets – Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
• Safeguarding at Sea Cadets – Introduction & Virtual/Live Courses
• Sea Cadets – Responsible for Information
• Sea Cadets – Health and Safety
Thereafter, should volunteers wish to undertake further training in specific areas, they can discuss this with their Officer in Charge and be booked onto relevant training

Expenses:
Subsistence and travel are not covered at weekly parade nights. However, if volunteer instructors attend courses or weekend events, then their travel, and sometimes food expenses, will be reimbursed. Volunteers claim for these through our online App FinanSys.
