Developing training interventions and associated materials to ensure content is matched to best practice
This role will involve extensive travel, providing training at lifeboat and lifeguard stations across the North and East, as well as travelling around the UK and ROI. An RNLI vehicle will be provided

Flexibility and the ability to think on your feet are key attributes. If you want to see how casualty care supports our organisation’s aim to reduce drowning, this could be the role for you.
