Assistant Cadet Leader - Newcastle

Volunteer Police Assistant Cadet Leader - Newcastle Unit
Newcastle College, Lifestyle Academy, NE4 7SA, Tues 5.30-7.30pm

Here are Northumbria Police we’ve been recruiting cadets for over 13 years. Our established volunteer scheme is a chance for young people from all backgrounds to take part in activities and be part of something unique. We’ve got a fantastic opportunity to support our programme as an Assistant Cadet Leader in our Newcastle Unit. We’re looking for volunteers to help us inspire our cadets, supervise them in their duties and ensure the smooth running of our weekly sessions. You’ll get involved in various activities, ensuring our scheme is the best it can be in representing our local community. 

Skills needed

This is a great chance to do something different from the norm – and most importantly, you don’t need to come from a policing background to join us. If you have experience of working with young people, whether that be through a previous volunteer role or in a professional capacity – we’d love to hear from you!



To volunteer in this role, you will need to be 18 or over and have lived in the UK for 3 years. You need to have a good level of resilience and patience, as our cadets are between the ages of 13 – 17 years old. We want to provide a great service to our young people; therefore, you’ll need to be passionate about helping others and able to communicate effectively. If you have these skills, we’ll ensure you receive support and training from experienced officers and staff that will help you become a great Assistant Cadet Leader.

Benefits for the Volunteer

Volunteering as an Assistant Cadet Leader is exceptionally rewarding. You’ll be a role model and inspiration to young people; sharing new experiences and helping them to learn more about themselves and what they are capable of. You’ll get to meet lots of different people, some of them from the local community, others from the Northumbria Policing family. There’s an opportunity to get involved in the running of the Duke of Edinburgh scheme, supporting the development of individual cadets, and identifying areas in which we can improve. You’ll also undoubtedly build on your existing leadership
