ENHANCE YOUR CAREER ON THE BEACH

The RNLI is recruiting for lifeguards to join theirteams at Whitsand Bay and Seaton beaches this summer.

The training and experience offered by the lifesaving service means it is great option for young people starting their career, however the charity is also keen to encourage applications from those looking to diversify already establish careers or require the flexibility to work around other commitments. At the forefront of the RNLI’s lifesaving work, the charity’s lifeguards responded to almost 12,500 incidents and helped more than 14,000 people on beaches across the south west in 2018. Successful applicants receive world-class training in search and rescue, lifesaving and casualty care techniques, good rates of pay and the chance to develop valuable and transferable skills.

Lifeguard teams are made up of a mix of ages, genders and backgrounds which mean the team can draw on individual skills or attributes to face any number of different situations and learn from each other. Those coming from other professions or at a different stage in their lives often have more tools in their armoury to deal with difficult or unusual situations and are a particularly valuable asset to the team. The RNLI hope to attract talented people regardless of age or life situation.
