Search begins for officer recruits for new Cayman Regiment

Calling all potential new officer recruits for the new Cayman Regiment!

The National Security Council has given the green light to assemble an initial force of seven officers and 50 reserve volunteers who will be put through initial training and equipped before summer 2020.

Welcoming the "excellent news", Governor Martyn Roper said: “The primary role of the Regiment will be to provide Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief support following disasters. We’re now looking for a dynamic leader with UK military experience to take this exciting project forward.

"They will need to have a wide variety of skills including project management and will need to be adaptable, resilient and able to deal with the day-to-day challenges a programme like this will inevitably have.

"The role is part-time, for which a per diem allowance will be paid, and there will be opportunities to refresh, re-hone and improve existing skills and talents with further training with some of the best military teams in the world. And the candidate will need to be able to start work immediately.”

In terms of the Junior positions, the Governor added: "We are looking for six Junior Officer recruits. We would like to employ them on one year, full-time, fixed term contracts after which they might become part-time reservists to enable them to continue their civilian careers, although there will also be some full-time positions created in future.

"During this year, the officers will receive basic training overseas and will also attend officer training at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst in the UK. The recruits will help the Commanding Officer set up the Regiment and recruit 50 reservists initially. Eventually this number will rise to 150. Junior Officers would need to be available to start in February.”
