Our club is entirely managed, coached & lifeguarded by a fantastic team of volunteers. Without their time & energy, sessions wouldn't be able to happen.
We are always eager to meet anyone that wants to get involved. No prior experience is necessary, and we welcome people from all backgrounds both personal and professional. All training for coaching, lifeguarding & first aid is provided by us.
If you aren't sure how you'd fit in, or whether surf life saving is for you, please get in touch and we will be happy to chat! We can arrange for you to come watch sessions in action, and all our helpers are happy to talk about their experiences with the club!
If you're interested in getting stuck in, please fill out the form below, and we will get back to you.
This list has been updated on 16th February 2026 - we urgently need support to help shape this season on the beach.
This is a high-impact role focused on the club’s growth and sustainability. You’ll lead the planning for major milestones like the Cornish Nippers here at Carlyon Bay(2026), scout for grant opportunities, and spearhead creative fundraising drives. Whether it's a local raffle or a corporate sponsorship, you help secure the resources we need to save lives.
You are to help manage skills and safety. Your role involves scheduling Lifeguard, Rescue, and Level 1/2 coaching courses, while meticulously tracking requalification’s to keep everyone current. You’ll bridge the gap between technical skill and safety by liaising with the Club Captain and Safeguarding Officer to ensure all training meets the highest standards.
As the heartbeat of the club’s community, you turn a group of members into a family. You’ll lead the charge on everything from casual beach barbecues and the Charlestown Carnival entry to the annual Christmas party. Your goal is to create a social calendar that keeps morale high and members engaged outside of formal training.
Working closely with the Youth Manager, you’ll help shape the future of our nippers and juniors. You’ll assist in developing monthly session plans (CSPs), managing the Junior Lifeguard Programme, and acting as a Team Manager during competitions to ensure our younger athletes are supported, organized, and inspired.

You’ll be the point of contact for beach businesses and local groups (CEG/RPG), making sure our physical presence on the sand is professional and functional.
You are the master of the "moving parts" on session days. You’ll match our session plans with the available equipment and safety cover, ensuring we have the right ratio of coaches and competent persons on the water. By liaising with Team Managers (Youth/Nippers/Adults and Sandhoppers) you make sure every session is organized, safe, and efficient.
The digital backbone of the club, you will manage our Google Workspace, passwords, and communication channels like WhatsApp. You’ll ensure our data stays secure and GDPR compliant while acting as the Webmaster to keep our online presence as sharp as our skills in the water. (A social media person is already in place) Our current website is on Prismic which has room for growth.
This role manages the "logistics of the lanes." You will be responsible for booking pool space, building the seasonal training calendar, and scheduling coaches to ensure all sessions are fully staffed. Also the consideration of the RLSS scheme within our pool sessions.
