Job description

What skills and experience we're looking for

The Role of the School Staff Instructor (SSI) at the Wymondham College Combined Cadet Force (CCF) is an integral part of this unique cadet organisation. The SSI is the link between the OC Army and RAF sections who ultimately report to the Contingent Commander, without the SSI this cohesion is not achievable. Being hugely organised with all the paperwork that MOD require is essential. Maintaining the stores is also essential in the smooth running of issuing kit and stock checks.

The hours outside the main parade day on a Tuesday are flexible and can be moved around as long as the total hours are agreed with the Contingent Commander. This role is term time only so work in the office when the school is on holidays is not required, however there will be a rota for the Armoury alarm call outs. In addition, the SSI will be expected to attend the Army summer camp and RAF summer camp if these fall in the school holidays. These camps will be paid separately from Brigade so these 2 weeks are in addition to the pro rata pay of the SSI.

Professional competencies expected of a CCF SSI

• The ability to communicate clearly and tactfully using appropriate methods and an awareness of the impact of your own communication on others
• Ability to maintain positive relationships with all and to work as an effective and flexible part of a team; willing to change methods of work and routines to benefit the team
• Be able to multi-task and work under pressure
• Be flexible and resilient in managing and executing daily responsibilities
• Ability to demonstrate strong planning and organisational skills
• Willingness to accept responsibility for your own actions
• The ability to prioritise effectively, meet deadlines and accept challenges

Qualifications and experience required of a CCF SSI

• A minimum of a grade C / 4, or equivalent, in English and Maths GCSE
