Looking to do something rewarding? The Coastguard is looking for Coastguard Rescue Officers to join their team.

HM Coastguard is the UK’s 999 Maritime and Coastal Emergency Service. The service is made up of volunteers who carry out rescues and help those in distress around our coast.

As a volunteer Coastguard Rescue Officer, you could be involved in a range of situations, from mud, cliff and water rescues to searches for missing people. As a volunteer you will not be paid but you can claim a small amount for your time and expenses.

Volunteering with the Coastguard is a rewarding role that supports and gives back to your local community. You can make a real difference and help to save lives.
