THE RNLI is looking for people to become lifeguards and fundraisers in Wirral during the summer peak season.

The organisation will be operating a lifeguard service on West Kirby, Moreton, Leasowe Bay, Harrison Drive, The Plateaux and New Brighton beaches.

Successful applicants will receive world-class training in search and rescue, lifesaving and casualty care techniques, as well as developing transferable skills.

Ryan Jennings, RNLI Lifeguard supervisor for Wirral, said: "Working as a lifeguard has got to be one of the best summer jobs – you get to call the beach your office for a start!

"But far more importantly than that, you are there to make sure the public enjoy it in the safest possible way.

"This is a demanding job requiring commitment, skill and a clear head."

Lifeguards recruited by RNLI last year

"We're looking for people with courage, determination and the ability to draw on their training and make the right decision if someone’s life is in danger.

"It is an incredibly rewarding role."

The RNLI is also recruiting face-to-face fundraisers, who will work alongside lifeguards to provide beach visitors with important safety advice, playing a vital role in saving lives by educating the public on risks at the coast.

Caroline Mason, RNLI Senior face-to-face fundraising manager, said: "A good fundraiser generally has to be friendly and relaxed, but also energetic, able to talk to anyone and be passionate about what they do.

"We provide quality training which ensures new fundraisers feel confident and capable in the role.

"Developing new skills, working in a team at the beach for a national charity is really has to be one of Britain’s best summer jobs."
