This role contributes to the operational assurance of the lifeboat station by providing feedback and support to the local and regional operations teams.

  • Relevant maritime or mechanical qualifications would complement your verifiable marine experience
  • Demonstrable boat handling experience
  • Detailed knowledge of navigation principles and IRPCS

    You'll have the ability to build effective relationships with volunteers at the lifeboat station, the supporters locally and RNLI staff beyond while acting as an ambassador for the station and the RNLI within the community.

  • Excellent leadership qualities
  • Ability to motivate and maximise people's potential
  • Sound interpersonal skills
