The RNLI makes the news every day – thanks to over 300 volunteer Lifeboat Press Officers. This role will support those volunteers in this promotional work, training them in news release writing, basic video editing, social media use, and briefing spokespeople.
It’s not just volunteers who need professional media training. Our senior leaders, from the Chief Executive to regional operations staff, need to handle interviews confidently. You’ll prepare them to represent the RNLI and its lifesavers effectively.
You’ll assess training needs, organize workshops, and deliver training to individuals and groups with diverse experience levels.
You should have practical knowledge of PR or journalism and be passionate about teaching others. Previous training experience is essential.
You will join a team of PR professionals, including three other Media Trainers, working to promote the RNLI’s lifesaving work.
This role involves extensive travel across the region from Shetland to the Scottish Borders, with a base in Perth. Travel to the RNLI’s Support Centre in Poole may also be required. Flexibility in working hours is essential, as volunteers are often available after hours and on weekends. A valid driving license is required.
Safeguarding
The RNLI is committed to safeguarding and expects all employees and volunteers to share this commitment. Recruitment will include criminal record checks as applicable.
Diversity at the RNLI
We value diversity and inclusivity, welcoming applications from everyone. We seek candidates who share our values of trustworthiness, courage, selflessness, and dependability, and who are committed to our vision: To save Every One.
