Wildlife Fundraisers

Are you looking for a fulfilling role where you can combine your passion for nature with your
excellent communication skills? Join us at Europe’s largest nature conservation charity and
make a real difference as a Wildlife Fundraiser! 

Each day you will travel to different venues, set up an attractive fundraising stand, and spend
the day actively engaging with members of the public, spreading awareness about our
conservation efforts and inspiring individuals to become lifelong members.

Don’t worry if you’re not a wildlife expert yet – we provide comprehensive training to equip
you with all the knowledge you need. Plus, you’ll enjoy the added perk of a company van, with
fuel and parking costs paid for. 

What’s even better? You’ll have the flexibility to choose a contract between 3 to 5 days per
week, and enjoy the stability of a set salary, rather than working on commission. With 34 days
of annual leave (including bank holidays) and opportunities for sabbaticals, we value your
work-life balance and well-being. 

What do current employees say about this fantastic position?

‘Securing a membership is always a great feeling that stays with you. Being able to talk
about things you are passionate about and learn a lot about wildlife is a real plus.’

‘Fun, challenging, requires resilience, great colleagues.’ 

But it’s not just about the benefits – it’s about the impact you’ll make. Join a team that’s
dedicated to preserving nature and inspiring others to do the same. Your role will be pivotal
in driving positive change, and you’ll have the support of a diverse and inclusive community
every step of the way.
