Coastguard crews in North Wales looking for new rescue officers

HM COASTGUARD crews based across North Wales are on the lookout for rescue officers to join their teams.

As a volunteer rescue officer, you could be involved in a range of situations; from mud, cliff and water rescues, to searches for missing people.

You will not be paid, but can claim a small amount of money for your time and expenses.

HM Coastguard is the UK’s 999 Maritime and Coastal Emergency Service.

The crews are made up of volunteers who carry out rescues and help those in distress around our coast.

The teams across a number of stations in the Coastguard’s “Area 15” are looking for volunteers, which includes Llandudno, Rhyl and Flint.

HM Coastguard said: “Volunteering with us is a rewarding role that supports and gives back to your local community.

“You can make a real difference and help to save lives.”

To request an application form, email: area15@mcga.gov.uk June 30 and include your name, age, current address and contact number.

You should also specify which Coastguard rescue team you have an interest in joining; after which, you will then be sent an application form.
