The RNLI has started its search for new lifeguards to patrol Northern Irelandās 10 beaches this summer, as part of its āBest Summer Jobā campaign by opening beach lifeguard recruitment online.
New recruits will be kitted, paid and trained to patrol 10 beaches located on the North Antrim coast and in Co. Down. RNLI Lifeguard Supervisor Karl OāNeill said: “Weāre looking for strong swimmers who can swim 400m with a good level of fitness aged over 16 years old. If you have the raw ability and the will to learn we can help get you fit and qualified.”
Lifeguards include college and university students, teachers, stay-at-home parents, business owners and gap-year travellers, all looking to do something special with their summer.
O’NeillĀ added: “The experience youāll gain this summer as an RNLI beach lifeguard will stay with you for life. Youāll work with an inspiring team and make lifelong friends while getting the chance to improve your physical fitness and learn new skills.
“Thereās nothing better than making the beach your office, getting paid to train and knowing you have the first aid and rescue skills to save someoneās life at a momentās notice. Itās the best job youāll ever have.”
