Looking for a meaningful charity job? Want to spend your working day out and about on the coast? Or to use your passion to help a cause you can believe in? Then we’ve got the perfect fundraising job for you: an RNLI face-to-face fundraiser.

A job that saves lives

We’re the RNLI – the charity that saves lives at sea. As a face-to-face fundraiser, you’ll be helping thousands of people. You’ll raise vital funds by inspiring new supporters to donate. This will help our lifeboat crews and lifeguards to save every one they can. You will have ambitious targets to meet, and the professional training to help you achieve.

And a face-to-face fundraising job with the RNLI is not just about raising money. You’ll also be sharing advice that will help people stay safe in and by the water. Lives have been saved thanks to advice given out by RNLI face-to-face fundraisers. It really is a unique job.

Benefits of working as a face-to-face fundraiser

  1. You’ll earn a salary and, with 10 regional teams across the UK and Ireland, find a great work location that suits you.
  2. Work available all year round, including full-time and part-time positions.
  3. No previous experience is necessary to become a face-to-face fundraiser – if you’ve got the commitment, we’ve got all the training, advice and support you’ll need.
  4. You’ll learn skills that you’ll use again and again, whether you go on to take another charity fundraising job or choose a different career path.
  5. You’ll make friends that will last a lifetime.

How we’ll support you

Before you start the job, you’ll receive an introduction to fundraising for the RNLI, as well as learning how to start inspiring conversations. You’ll meet the lifeguards and lifeboat crew in your local community, which will help bring the charity to life for you. And you’ll find out when and how to share water safety messages.

We’ll make sure you feel confident and capable before you start the role.

We’ll also offer you one-to-one coaching to help you build confidence so that you can reach your full potential.
