The RNLI’s Lifeboat Station in Rhyl is looking for a volunteer to join the existing team in the role of Launch Authority.
Established in 1852, Rhyl Lifeboat Station is one of the busiest stations in Wales. The new boathouse was completed in 2001 and houses both an all-weather and an inshore lifeboat.
The Lifeboat Crew are all volunteers, headed up by the Lifeboat Operations Manager and Launch Authorities and supported by a Shore Crew team.
All boat and shore crew follow the RNLI’s national Competency Based Training Scheme and respond to pagers when there is a request to launch the lifeboats. The wider team includes volunteer fundraisers, shop volunteers and water safety volunteers.
This role will help the team in Rhyl save lives at sea by carrying out the day to day management of the lifeboat station to ensure a permanent state of readiness for service.
The role involves authorising the launch of the lifeboats, providing leadership in the absence of the Lifeboat Operations Manager and ensure that all operational activities are carried out to maintain the lifeboats and all associated equipment in a constant state of readiness for launching on service.
