Contingent Commander/Head of Royal Marines

2 weeks ago


Taunton, Somerset, United Kingdom King's College Full time

King's College Taunton has an exciting opportunity for a Contingent Commander to further develop and lead the school's hugely successful Combined Cadet Force (CCF). This post would suit a current senior CCF officer or indeed an existing Contingent Commander eager for a fresh challenge. We would also happily consider someone who has recently left the Armed Forces, especially if they have experience of working with cadets. We seek to appoint an experienced, enthusiastic and suitably qualified applicant who has demonstrated the skills and character needed to lead a contingent.

This opportunity also allows for the leadership of the highly regarded King's Royal Marines section. We have won the Sir Steuart Pringle trophy numerous times in recent years and this epitomises the strength of our CCF contingent. This position is offered on a part-time basis, or can be combined with our Head of Outdoor Education and Adventure role (also currently advertised).

The Contingent Commander is responsible to the School's Headmaster for the safe, efficient and effective running of the school's contingent, including leadership and development of the CCF, ensuring that each pupil is positively encouraged to develop their potential to the full. The core purpose of this post is to manage and develop the school's CCF, assist with the running and organisation of the contingent and to participate fully in CCF activities. The Contingent Commander will be supported by a full-time School Staff Instructor (SSI), who will help oversee training, stores, equipment, security, weapons maintenance, and administration.

Please note that this role can be combined with the current advertised Head of Outdoor Education role, should experience allow. This will then be a full-time role (40 hours per week). Applicants interested in this full-time role should ensure they are applying for both roles in their application.

For further details and an application form, contact the HR department on /328231, visit the vacancies page on our website () or email / .

The closing date for applications is Tuesday 18 June 2024.

King's College Taunton is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
