An Isle of Wight lifeguard team is searching for new recruits to join their teams for the 2024 summer season.
Ryde Beach Lifeguards (RBLG) is an independent lifesaving service on the Island that provides a beach safety service in Ryde and Sandown for both town councils during May, July and August.

“Working as a beach lifeguard is an extremely rewarding and important role that comes with a lot of responsibility, as well as being enjoyable.
“You also gain nationally-recognised qualifications and training, as well as the experience of working alongside our amazing emergency services.”
