Our purpose is simple: to save lives at sea. 24 hours a day, every day, RNLI lifesavers are ready to launch to the rescue.

We’re looking for three new Marketing Apprentices to join an established programme within our busy Fundraising, Marketing and Media team. You’ll work on campaigns to generate income, share safety messages and, ultimately, help save more lives.

Starting in September, this 2-year apprenticeship (level 3) would suit a highly motivated individual who is looking to begin a career in Marketing.

Your Role

Our Marketing team generates funds and raises awareness to keep the RNLI’s lifesaving and prevention work sustainable. Whether it’s working on recruiting new supporters through our multi-media campaigns or helping to organise an event the variety and exposure to award winning marketing and fundraising campaigns is second to none. You will also gain plenty of experience of the end to end marketing and communications process from ideation to evaluation.

Following a comprehensive month long induction programme based at our RNLI Lifesaving Centre in Poole you will have the opportunity to work across the different teams and specialisms that develop, run and evaluate all of our campaigns. Your programme will include multiple placements in teams across the department, including:
