The RNLI is looking for new beach lifesavers in Pembrokeshire.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is on the hunt for aspiring lifeguards to begin their lifesaving careers on some of Wales' busiest beaches.
Recruitment has started nationally for the 2025 season, with positions still available in north Pembrokeshire.
The charity's lifeguards rescue those in trouble in the water and provide crucial beach first-aid and safety advice.
In 2023, RNLI lifeguards in west Wales responded to more than 753 incidents, assisting at least 1,148 people in need and saving seven lives.
Last summer, lifeguards rescued swimmers from strong rip currents, saved children being blown offshore in inflatables, assisted paddleboarders, and administered lifesaving CPR on beaches.
Successful applicants will receive 'world-class' lifesaving training, enjoy good rates of pay, and have the possibility of flexible working patterns.
Stuart Penfold, lead lifeguard supervisor for North Pembrokeshire, said: "Being a beach lifeguard is great.
"Although the job can be very challenging at times, you get the chance to work alongside some incredible people, receive great training, be outdoors and most importantly, make a real difference to people’s lives.
"The role is well suited to outgoing individuals, confident swimmers and those who are passionate about helping people."
Lee Fisher, lifeguard experience manager, added: "Beach lifeguarding is a great opportunity and a very rewarding role that changes lives – including your own – all whilst enjoying the beach as your office.
"Our lifeguards range from teenagers all the way up to lifesavers in their 70s, as long as you meet the fitness requirements and you are over 16 years old, there could be a role for you.
"The job also has great paths for progression - we have lifeguards who have been working for the RNLI for years, both on the beach and as part of our support teams, and the skills you gain can make an ideal first step towards many careers.
"It’s a great opportunity whether you want a rewarding summer job or to pursue a career in lifesaving."
