Search launched for visits officer to help save lives at Barmouth RNLI
The RNLI is looking for new Lifeboat Visits Officer to join its lifesaving team at Barmouth RNLI. The successful candidate will have an important role to play in saving the lives of people of all age groups
The role will involve promoting the work of the lifeboat station to the local community and visitors, helping to raise vital funds and save lives at sea by sharing key water safety messages. Responsibilities will include encouraging local schools, youth and adult organisations and visitors to the lifeboat station so that they can learn about the local lifeboat and the wider RNLI.
The volunteer will be responsible for recruiting and managing a visits team of volunteers to assist with presentations and to create a welcoming environment for visitors.
Volunteers are the heart of the RNLI and make up 95% of its people. They are ordinary people who do extraordinary things and without them, the organisation couldn’t continue to save lives at sea.
