Company
About us
The RNLI is a charity that provides a 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service, seasonal lifeguards, and water safety education and initiatives.
The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. Powered primarily by kind donations, our search and rescue service has been saving lives for nearly 200 years. Here you can find out more about who we are, what we do and how with your support, we can move closer to a world where no one drowns.
Our Values
Our work is based on and driven by our values. Our volunteers and staff strive for excellence and are:
Trustworthy: To hold the trust of the public, our volunteers, supporters, partners and staff
Courageous: To have the courage to take on the most demanding challenges
Selfless: To put the needs of others first
Dependable: To be reliable, consistent and authentic
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Focusing on equality, diversity and inclusion is not just the right thing to do, it is essential to the sustainability of the RNLI and our ability to deliver our organisational goal.
We know that it takes a wide range of diverse minds, cultures and experiences to effectively connect with different audiences and communities, and that is why we want to attract talent from diverse backgrounds, to make sure we have the right people to keep the RNLI relevant, both now and in the future.
Creating an environment where people feel comfortable and valued, makes them want to volunteer or come to work and give their best because people perform better when they can be themselves. So, we want people to feel proud of their uniqueness and comfortable to celebrate their differences and express themselves.
Crucially, we do not tolerate disrespectful behaviour towards each other, supporters or members of the public.
We’re one crew, ready to save lives, powered by passion, talent and kindness.
