Portrush RNLI is looking for a new Shop Manager to lead its retail team in generating the vital funds needed to support the station’s lifesaving work at sea.
As well as raising much need funds, the Shop Manager will also promote the work of the RNLI to customers and raise awareness of key water safety messages.
Situated on the Causeway coast, Portrush Lifeboat Station was built in 1924, and is the closest of the North’s ten lifeboat stations to Donegal. The Portrush crew are often called to help with rescues off the Donegal coast, and vice versa.
The RNLI say the role of manager of the local RNLI shop will ideally suit someone who is local to the Portrush area and who will thrive on leading and coordinating a team of retail volunteers.
The RNLI’s retail lead Brendan Breslin says volunteering in this role will see the successful candidate make a difference in their local community, helping to save lives while learning new skills and gaining the satisfaction of giving back.
