Hey Team,
I’m super keen to be onboard this season. My main interests within the club currently revolve around membership engagement and retention as well as leadership development. I can’t wait to work with you all and see what this year has in store.
To kick off the season, we need some volunteers to assist with some of the following positions.

We are looking for a Junior Club Captain/s. This involves interacting with the junior members of the club, including nippers, encouraging inclusive behaviour and acting as a role model to make them feel welcome.

If you are interested in taking on any of the five roles above, please contact Ella Arnold (development@islsc.org.au).
Community Relations
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick note to say hi, and to say how much I am looking forward to working with this season’s ISLSC Board. Last season I had the pleasure of getting to know people who are involved in/ engage with our club in a variety of ways. Being involved as an age manager, patrol 3’s patrol ‘mum’, and working in the Deck Bar as the summer came to a close, gave me unique opportunities to meet with and facilitate relationships between the club and our broader community. It is incredibly fulfilling to have watched nippers grow (physically and in their skills set), to watch our patrol group develop (from teens to mature Board members) and to have our local community make the Deck Bar their ‘go-to’ on a Friday evening.
This season I will be looking to facilitate further engagement of members and the broader Inverloch community with ISLSC.
If you have any suggestions about how the club could enhance engagement, I would love to hear from you. EOI’s are currently being sought for the following roles:
Communications Advisor
We are seeking a Communication Advisor to assist the Board in developing and delivering a communication strategy for ISLSC. The goal for this season is to consolidate and refine our digital communications with upgrades to website and streamlining of social media. This role would ideally be suited to an experienced professional, however individuals studying or starting out in marketing, PR or strategic communications should also apply.
Influencers
We are also seeking individuals to form a team of ‘influencers’. You will have an opportunity to create content (insta, FB, etc) and share in the delivery of a broader communications strategy that will strengthen the image of the club for both members and the broader community. If you are handy with a device, creative, and love your socials, this is the job for you!
If you are interested in taking on a role or are seeking further information, please contact, Ione McKenzie (communityrelations@islsc.org.au).
Expressions of interest close: Friday 9th September 2022.
Competition
I am so excited about another great year of competition. The momentum is building, and I can’t wait to see our teams bigger, better and smashing more goals. Another season brings more opportunities for the competition team to grow and increase interest. This is not possible without the key help from Team Managers and Coaches.
The following are the positions available for the upcoming season.
Team Manager
One required per Team:
- Summer Junior competition team
- Summer Senior Competition team
- Winter IRB Competition Team
The Team Manager is responsible for the logistical aspects of competition endeavours. You will work with David Morris to ensure the team is organised and ready for competition, including communicating effectively with athletes, parents and coaches.
Team Coach
One per Team:
- Summer Junior Competition team
- Summer Senior Competition team
The Team Coach is responsible for the learning and developing skills required for competition. You will need to hold a current LSV appropriate level qualifications for Active Membership and Level 1 coaching qualifications relevant to lifesaving. However, if you are interested in completing your coach’s qualification, please reach out as we would be happy to support you to gain the relevant qualification.
Carnival Officials
Competitions cannot run without the help of officials. Officials can participate in various activities from judging lanes, starting races, helping set up courses etc. Athletes cannot compete without a specific amount of volunteer officials from each club, so we must have enough so our teams can compete. If you are interested in acquiring your official qualification, please contact David Morris.
If you are interested in any of the six positions above, please email David Morris your expression of interest competition@islsc.org.au
