🚨🚨 WE’RE RECRUITING – JOIN THE CLEETHORPES COASTGUARD RESCUE TEAM 🚨 🚨

Have you ever wanted to do something that genuinely makes a difference?

We’re looking for dedicated, reliable, enthusiastic people to join us as Volunteer Coastguard Rescue Officers (CROs) with the Cleethorpes Coastguard Rescue Team.

You don’t need to be an experienced rescuer. You don’t need to have worked in the emergency services before. Full training is provided.

What you do need is the right attitude, a willingness to learn, the ability to work as part of a team, and a real commitment to helping people in our community.

🌊 What does the role involve?
As a Coastguard Rescue Officer, you could be called upon at any time, day or night, to help people in danger around our coastline.
No two callouts are the same.

You could find yourself:
🔹 Searching for missing people
🔹 Helping people who have been cut off by the tide
🔹 Rescuing casualties from mud
🔹 Assisting people in difficulty in the water
🔹 Providing first aid and medical assistance
🔹 Responding to incidents involving unexploded ordnance on the beach
🔹 Working alongside Police, Fire, Ambulance and other emergency services
🔹 Carrying out safety patrols and providing reassurance to the public

It can be challenging. It can be physically demanding. Sometimes it can be difficult. But it can also be incredibly rewarding.

There’s something very special about being part of a team that turns up when someone needs help the most.

👥 Who are we looking for?
We welcome applications from people from all walks of life.
You should:
✔️ Live or work within a reasonable distance of Cleethorpes
✔️ Be physically fit and comfortable working in challenging conditions
✔️ Be able to remain calm under pressure
✔️ Be able to work effectively as part of a team
✔️ Have a strong sense of commitment and community spirit
✔️ Hold a full, clean UK driving licence

Previous rescue experience is not required – we will train you.
🎓 What do you get in return?

As well as becoming part of a close-knit team, you’ll receive professional training in search and rescue, gain experience working alongside other emergency services, and have opportunities for ongoing development.

Most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to help people and potentially save lives.

⏰ What commitment is involved?
This is a voluntary role, but it is a serious commitment.
You’ll be expected to:
📅 Attend regular training sessions, Tuesday evenings every week.
🚨 Be available for callouts, including evenings and weekends.
🏃 Take part in exercises and team activities.
🌊 Be prepared to respond 24 hours a day, 365 days a year when required (around family and work life).

🚨 Call Out – at 09:00 hrs,, 30/09/2026 -🚨

Incident number 134/26

On arrival, the First Informant (FIF) identified a fluorescent object approximately 3 metres from the rock groyne, which appeared to be a swimmer’s tow float. The float appeared to be held in position by the wind/tide or possibly weighted down.

Consideration was given to requesting the Cleethorpes ILB. However, the float subsequently drifted into the rocks, allowing a CRO in WSAR PPE/PPC to safely recover the item.

The item was confirmed as a swimmer’s tow float. It contained no identifying information or contact details and had a hole along the seam.

CCTV was reviewed at the Beach Safety Resort office. A swimmer was observed swimming towards the rock groyne from the direction of the pier at 08:29 hrs. At 08:49 hrs, the swimmer turned and headed back towards the pier. The tow float was subsequently observed drifting towards the groyne.

Due to CCTV coverage, it could not be confirmed that the swimmer had exited the water safely. A search of the beach was conducted for any clothing or personal belongings that could identify the swimmer; the search was negative.

The swimmer appeared to be a strong swimmer and was not observed to be in difficulty or distress.

Following discussion with Humber, it was agreed that a thorough search had been completed and, based on the available information, it was considered likely that the swimmer had safely exited the water.

If this was you swimming near the rock groyne, please get in touch with Humber Coastguard to confirm that you are safe and well.

If you are an open water swimmer, and use a swimmers tow float, and lose it, please contact Humber Coastguard to advise them of the situation, providing them with the colour of the float, and the location where it came adrift.

July turned out to be a busy month for Cleethorpes Coastguard.

During the course of the month our team were called out to incidents 15 times. These callouts included multiple calls to persons being cut-off by the tide, medical incidents and calls to lost or missing children.

We have also had 7 training sessions including some with our neighbouring teams of Donna Nook and Hull, these include regular training sessions to keep our knowledge and skills up-to-date and exercises to put our knowledge into practice and make sure we are ready for situations that might not come up very often but are important for us to be ready for, such as a recent training exercise where the team evacuated an injured casualty from a moored vessel.

July also proved to be busy for our team trying to spread knowledge and awareness of water safety and coastal safety with our volunteers attending several schools and other groups or events in the area, talking to various age groups from young children through to adults about being safe around our coastline and inland bodies of water.

So far this year there have been a spate of incidents throughout the country where members of the public have tragically lost their lives in the water. We want people to enjoy the water but ask that you do so safely, with a few tips to help.

Always check the tides times. In Cleethorpes and Humberston clear the sandbanks 5 hours before high-tide to avoid being cut-off.
Always wear a life jacket. It could save your life.
If you go out on the water, carry a form of communication (VHF radio or phone) in water proof pouch, also let somebody know what time you plan to return so they can call for assistance if you are late back.
Be careful jumping into bodies of water, there could be hidden objects under the surface, or cold water shock could set in which can be incredibly serious.

Remember - Float-to-live
If you find yourself in trouble around the coast - Call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

Tuesday night training 🚤

This week’s training exercise took the team to HCA Marina, where we responded to a simulated incident involving a crew member on board a 10-metre sailing yacht.

The scenario involved a casualty who had fallen below deck after losing their footing as the vessel moved unexpectedly alongside the pontoon. The casualty was conscious and breathing but was unable to stand, complaining of severe lower back pain with numbness in one leg, requiring spinal precautions and careful handling.

The exercise provided an excellent opportunity to practice:
* Dynamic risk assessment around the marina and vessel
* Safe boarding procedures and casualty assessment
* Positioning the yacht alongside to allow a safe and effective casualty extraction
* Manual handling and casualty packaging
* Stretcher use in the restricted environment below deck
* Coordinated casualty extraction up the companionway

Training in realistic environments like this helps ensure our Coastguard Rescue Officers are prepared to respond safely and effectively when called upon.

A big thank you to HCA Marina and the yacht owner for allowing us to use their facilities for this valuable training exercise.

Remember, if you’re at the coast and find yourself or someone else in danger, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

HEATWAVE - WATER SAFETY ADVICE

In the UK, water safety organisations have already reported 19 fatalities in water-related incidents this year (15 of which were children) as warmer weather draws more people to the coast, rivers, lakes, quarries, and reservoirs.

The reports from France are a stark reminder that extreme heat and water can be a deadly combination.

French authorities have confirmed that 40 people have drowned since the heatwave began, with many of the deaths occurring as people sought relief from record-breaking temperatures by swimming in rivers, lakes, and other unsupervised locations. Most of the victims were reported to be young people.

Heatwave Water Safety Advice:

Never enter water to cool off suddenly. Cold water shock can cause involuntary gasping, rapid breathing, and loss of control, even on hot days.

Avoid swimming alone. Go with others and let someone know where you are.

Use lifeguarded beaches and supervised swimming areas whenever possible.

Stay away from reservoirs, quarries, and fast-flowing rivers. Hidden currents, steep sides, and cold temperatures make them particularly dangerous.

Do not enter the water after drinking alcohol or taking drugs.
Wear a life jacket or buoyancy aid when boating, paddleboarding or participating in water sports.

Keep children under constant supervision near any body of water.

If someone gets into difficulty, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard (at the coast) or emergency services inland.

Avoid entering the water yourself unless trained to do so.

If You Fall Into Cold Water

Remember the "Float to Live" advice promoted by the UK's Royal National Lifeboat Institution:

Tilt your head back with your ears submerged.
Relax and try to control your breathing.
Move your hands gently to stay afloat.
Once breathing is under control, call for help or swim to safety if possible.

As temperatures remain high across the UK, authorities are urging people to enjoy the water safely and to treat natural bodies of water with caution, regardless of how warm the weather feels.
