About RNLI

Our mission is straightforward: to save lives at sea. Since the 19th century, our dedicated teams have been risking their lives to rescue those in peril.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the RNLI People Team for a 12-month maternity cover, providing essential HR and volunteer services across six RNLI regions. With a workforce of 1,850 employees and approximately 30,000 volunteers, the challenge is significant.

Based in Poole, you will report directly to the Regional Head and become an integral part of the local leadership team. As a peer to the regional team, you will need to be adept at understanding the regional challenges and opportunities, not limited to People matters, to inspire, coach, and drive success within the region. You will also have an indirect reporting line to the People Director, ensuring national policy and practice consistency while addressing regional needs.

Your work schedule will involve being in Poole 2-3 days a week, with the flexibility to work from home one day a week. Additionally, you will be expected to spend one day a week at a lifeboat station or fundraising center, depending on organizational needs.

You will be supported by a People Adviser and a Volunteer Advisor who are embedded within the South East Region, along with a substantial administrative team based in Poole. Given that much of your work will involve both valued employees and dedicated volunteers, your ability to deliver exceptional service to all stakeholders is vital. Success in this role will hinge on your capacity to take full ownership of all matters rather than merely providing a signposting service.

Benefits Include:

  • Salary: £49,492 - £55,000 (dependent on experience)
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • 26 days of annual leave plus Bank Holidays
  • Exceptional pension scheme (contributions of up to 16% of basic salary)
  • Life assurance coverage
  • Health and dental cash plan options

Your Responsibilities

As the Regional People Lead, you will ensure outstanding HR business partnering within your region, supported by central subject matter experts in areas such as Pay and Reward, Learning and Development, and more.
