The Marine Society & Sea Cadets (MSSC) is a vibrant and growing charity. Through Sea Cadets we aim to inspire young people to achieve their potential through challenge and nautical adventure underpinned by the customs and traditions of the Royal Navy. Through the Marine Society we enable current and future maritime professionals to realise their potential through learning and self-development.
We have a clear vision and strategy to take us forward to maximise the impact we have on cadets and maritime professionals. We are an ambitious charity, always looking to make further improvements, and especially in the EDI space we recognise that there is still work to be done. In 2022, we published our external EDI review. Building on those results we have worked hard to embed equity, diversity and inclusion in all that we do, and are committed to continuing that work to becoming a truly inclusive charity.

We are looking for an experienced EDI change specialist who will support the leadership team to lead change and embed the culture of equity, diversity and inclusion across the charity (employees, volunteers, cadets and apprentices) and to raise awareness and champion EDI in all that we do.
