About Us:
Our purpose is simple: to save lives at sea. 24 hours a day, every day, RNLI lifesavers are ready to launch to the rescue.
Our Recruitment Team is part of the People Services (HR) team and supports the organisation to attract and recruit the best people to help deliver our goals; not only in the skills they bring to the organisation, but also in the values and behaviours they uphold and demonstrate.
