Rnli lifeboat crew are volunteers. They aren’t paid.

If you search "army medical disqualification list" you can see what the MoD list. And you may be better calling your local RNLI office to find out, but know that isn't a 'job', you dontt get paid. If you are interested in the military and boats, why not look at the Navy or Air Force

Thanks, I know they are volunteers, I was just wondering if anyone knew if you could join. I have checked the RAF and they do not allow people to join if they have ME so I will look to see if I can find the list for the army.

If the RAF don't allow it the it is 99.9% likely the armt and navy also wont. As it is an MoD disqualification, but check just to be sure. It may also be worth visiting your local recruitment office
