St Paul’s School for Girls is looking to appoint a dedicated and committed person to support the smooth running and effective administration of the Combined Cadet Force in line with school principles. The CCF at St Paul’s is a Royal Air Force single service contingent and has grown over the past 10 years to include 20% of the school. The role will also include developing and maintaining cadet facilities on site.  

Weekly training takes place on Tuesday and Thursday during term time 15:30 to 17:30, the successful candidate will be expected to work 13:00 to 18:00 on these days, the other weekly hours are flexible. The candidate will also be expected to support two week-long (Sat to Sat) residential camps and three full weekends.

The successful candidate ideally should have either military and/or cadet forces experience. However, this is not essential and the school will facilitate personal development opportunities to enhance capabilities and develop knowledge of the military over time. Candidates must demonstrate excellent organisational, administrative and interpersonal skills, with a proven record of managing multiple tasks and workstreams, meeting imposed deadlines and working with colleagues and partners to achieve goals and objectives.

Candidates should be aware that they will be expected to obtain Instructor qualifications and participate in field activities and expeditions/camps to support cadets, as an integral part of the role.
