Southend Coastguard Station Open & Recruitment Day

Ever wondered what we do as one of the 4 '999' Emergency Services? Come along to our open day for a guided tour of our station. Look inside our vantage point across the estuary, and see inside the response vehicle.

Take a peek into the role of a Coastguard Rescue Officer, including the skill sets we have, and the training we undergo from Search to Rescue.

Have a go at some first aid, water rescue techniques, and have a try at our throw-line challenge plus lots more.

Additionally, if you are keen to join the Coastguard Rescue Service we will have officers who will be happy to talk to you about volunteering as a Coastguard Rescue Officer and the recruitment process.

Also check out other Workshops in Southend-on-Sea.
