Burnham-on-Sea RNLI Lifeboat Station seeks two volunteer tractor drivers to join it's highly valued shore team, to facilitate day cover.

Whilst RNLI volunteer boat crews man the lifeboats, it is the station shore team that enable the launch. The tractor drivers are an essential part of this shore team, using the specialised launching tractors to launch and recover lifeboats on the beach, and returning them to the lifeboat station. Tractor drivers can be male or female, as the RNLI is an equal opportunities organisation.  

 

In addition to the ability to reach the station within ten minutes, during a daytime callout, applicants need to show a commitment to regular Wednesday evening training sessions, and a sufficient level of physical fitness. There is a lower age limit of 21 years, for insurance purposes.

 

Lifeboat Operations Manager Rick Holmes says; "Experience is not necessary. We can provide all the training, and successful applicants will have the enjoyment of working within a close friendly team."

Day cover boat crew are also welcome to join us.
