The paid role helps the lifesaving charity reach thousands of people every year, sharing important water safety messages with beachgoers and visitors to some of the summer’s most popular events. It is also vital in helping the RNLI continue its lifesaving service, encouraging new supporters to sign up and donate.
A role within the RNLI’s face-to-face fundraising team offers flexible working in great locations across Wales such as the stunning coast of Pembrokeshire. Fundraisers receive full, high-quality training and competitive rates of pay, whilst also developing valuable professional and personal skills.
This year, the lifesaving charity is looking to recruit around 160 face-to-face fundraisers, with part-time, full-time, seasonal and year-round opportunities available.
Effie Cawley, Face-to-Face Fundraising Manager at the RNLI, said:
‘Being a face-to-face fundraiser is a rewarding role; it is vital in helping to raise funds to support the RNLI’s lifesaving work and in delivering important water safety advice to those visiting the coast. If you’re friendly, approachable and interested in helping to share safety advice with thousands of beach visitors, it could be just the role for you.
‘Face-to- face fundraising jobs are very flexible and offer the chance to work in some stunning coastal locations. I’d encourage anyone, no matter what career you are considering, to take up the challenge and apply for a role today.’
