About us
We are the charity that saves lives at sea. We can only do that if we keep our people safe too. That requires us to learn from what goes well and what doesn’t. Learning is vital and there is a brilliant opportunity help us with that by joining our safety learning team.
As a Safety Learning Facilitator you will become a vital part of the RNLI safety team and a key person in helping us to improve how we operate safely and continuously improve. The safety team leads the way in which the RNLI learns as an organisation and implements its safety lessons to ensure a safe, compliant and sustainable environment for our volunteers and staff.
Delivering across the UK and Ireland the team continue to develop a proactive and just approach to learning from incidents both afloat and ashore. Recognising the importance of human factors in improving safety performance, it’s our role to put learning and continual improvement at the heart of our operations and activities to keep our people safe – whether that’s while fundraising, educating members of the public, building lifeboats, lifeguarding a beach or saving lives at sea.
The RNLI is a charity that provides a 24-hour search and rescue service in the UK and Ireland. Volunteers make up 95% of our organisation; supported by expert staff, all working together to help communities at home and abroad save lives.
Your role
Be a driving force behind transformational safety learning at the RNLI.
As a Safety Learning Facilitator you will sit as a core member of the Safety Learning Team, reporting into the Safety Learning Manager. You’ll play a pivotal role in facilitating the way in which the RNLI learns and implements its safety lessons to ensure a safe, compliant, and sustainable organisation.
In this exciting role, you will be responsible for providing guidance and support to those outside of the safety learning team, supporting the safety learning process, and shaping recommendations. Supporting our Safety Learning Leads, you will facilitate both the progression of learning reviews through the lifecycle journey of the process, and the management of safety learning, including recommendations and associated processes.

3. Substantial experience in a health and safety / investigation role.
4. Strong IT skills with experience using multiple systems to capture and extract information.
5. High level of organisation skills and experience working with stakeholders at all levels of an organisation.
6. Ability to coach others through complex processes to achieve desired outcomes.
If this sounds like you, and you are someone who understands the complex factors that may create the conditions for an accident to occur, and can identify preventative actions to improve safety, with a focus on failing safely rather than preventing all, apply today.
