I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Royal National Lifeboat Institution (Plymouth, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
Very long 2nd interview, over 2 hours. 2 x 30 min to do 2 tasks, and then a series of questions. Questions not shared beforehand and very specific examples needed which was tricky to pluck out of thin air. Interview travel not remunerated.
