As these roles are operational, volunteers would need to live or work within four miles of the lifeboat station.
Ben Mitchell, RNLI area lifesaving manager, explained: “Only 10 percent of our new recruits come with professional maritime experience, our current lifeboat crew is testament to this as we have a solicitor, a doctor, a fisherman, two retired teachers and several shop and bank staff/managers. The RNLI provides comprehensive training to turn ordinary people into lifesavers.”
