Hours

Full Time

Location description

Home or RNLI asset based

RNLI lifeboats and lifeguards help thousands of people each year around the UK. It’s quite a story and you can help us tell it.

We have 4 placement opportunities available in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and West, North and East. These will be 3 months over the summer and can be home based within the region suitable for you. We’re looking for future PR stars to join the RNLI’s Media Engagement Team for 3 months. Ideally, we’re looking for people with some basic experience in PR, Communications or Media, or who are studying for or recently graduated from a relevant degree.

You’ll be a keen learner looking to build on a good understanding of communications and PR principles. You’ll be a skilled communicator and confident to hit the ground running - whether that’s writing press releases or picking up the phone to our lifeguards, lifeboat crew or the media.

You’ll gain a broad range of experience, from publicising lifeguard and lifeboat rescues and helping handle communications around major incidents, to dealing with the media and protecting the reputation of a well-loved charity. You’ll find out how to use a multi-media, multi-channel approach to promoting a large organisation and discover what it’s like to be part of a busy regional press team.

The RNLI is a 24/7 search and rescue organisation and you should be ready to work outside normal office hours on occasion.

Your reward will be seeing the RNLI’s reputation go from strength to strength as you help raise awareness of this lifesaving charity and inspire people to support us.

This post requires a valid driving licence.
