Description

Volunteer Cadet Leaders Wanted – Join Leicestershire Police’s Cadet Programme!

Are you passionate about making a difference in your community? Leicestershire Police is looking for dedicated Volunteer Cadet Leaders to support our thriving Volunteer Police Cadet (VPC) Scheme.

Since its launch in 2015, the VPC programme has grown significantly, now supporting nearly 120 cadets across four active units in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. Our Volunteer Cadet Leaders play a vital role in guiding and mentoring these young people.

What You’ll Do

As a Volunteer Cadet Leader, you’ll:

  • Support and supervise cadets during their activities and deployments
  • Help build confidence, discipline, and community spirit among young people
  • Be a positive role model and part of a supportive team

What We’re Looking For

To join us, you’ll need:

  • Strong communication skills
  • A team-oriented mindset
  • To be aged 18 or over

No prior experience is necessary – we’ll provide you with tailored training, ongoing support, and guidance from our Force VPC Lead Coordinator.

Why Volunteer?

As a Police Support Volunteer, you’ll be giving back to your community in a meaningful way. You’ll help bridge the gap between policing and the public, all while gaining valuable experience and making a real impact.
