Peel and Port St Mary RNLI are on the hunt for press officers to join their volunteer crews.
The western team at Peel are looking for a new Lifeboat Press Officer (LPO), whilst Port St Mary RNLI are looking for a new Deputy Lifeboat Press Officer (DLPO).
The LPO and DLPO roles help the RNLI save lives at sea by raising awareness of the charity through promoting the activity of the lifeboat station.
Press Officers For RNLI
Chris Gaskin, RNLI Area Operations Manager for the Isle of Man, said: “Volunteering with us gives people the opportunity to make a real difference in their local community, to save lives at sea and become part of our one crew family.
“We can’t keep people safe without the support of our wonderful volunteers, who truly make a difference every day – no matter which role they are fulfilling.
“Becoming a part of the press officer team at Peel and Port St Mary is a great chance to play a crucial part in helping to save lives and making a positive impact in your community.”
Dedicated Volunteers
Carol Hunter, current LPO at Peel who will be stepping down at the end of summer after more than six years in the role, said: “Being part of the Peel Lifeboat community has been fulfilling, heartwarming and fun.
“It has been a great honour to support, through my efforts, the work of our dedicated volunteers, whether they are afloat, ashore or fundraising.
“It’s a vital role with structured training and support and your actions as LPO can make a real difference in enhancing the public’s engagement with the RNLI.
“We’re looking for enthusiastic people with an interest in writing, communications, media, and storytelling. Although no formal training or experience in these areas is required to apply, just a willingness to engage, learn and contribute something special.
“I would encourage anyone with an interest to apply; there is so much to gain from the role and joining the RNLI’s one crew.”
