Experience Team Officer P/T - Temporary (up to 6 months)

About us

Our purpose is simple: to save lives at sea. 24 hours a day, every day, RNLI lifesavers are ready to launch to the rescue. Are you looking for a part-time role where your attention to detail and customer service skills can make a real difference? We’re looking for an Experience Team Officer to join our team at the RNLI Regional Base in Swords, working three days a week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. This varied, office-based role combines donation processing, administration and customer service. You’ll help make sure donations are processed accurately; supporters are acknowledged and our fundraising and retail volunteers across Ireland receive a great service.

• A predictable three-day working week, Tuesday to Thursday.
• Salary €31,659 - €37,246 based on 37 hours per week (pro-rated and dependent on experience)
• 26 days’ annual leave plus Bank Holidays, pro rata.
• A competitive pension scheme, with employer contributions of up to 10% of basic salary.

As an Experience Team Officer you can expect to be doing the following daily:

• Process donations accurately and efficiently, ensuring supporter records are kept up to date.
• Help ensure supporters are acknowledged and thanked for their donations.
• Respond to enquiries from fundraising and retail volunteers across Ireland by phone and email.
• Provide administrative support with volunteer applications, stock and other enquiries.
• Maintain accurate records and handle personal and financial information appropriately.

About you
