Wildlife Fundraisers

Do you enjoy talking to people? Do you have great communication skills? Are you passionate
about nature?

Each day as an RSPB Membership Fundraiser you will travel to different venues, set up an
attractive fundraising stand, and spend the day actively engaging with members of the public.
The aim is to inspire people to become lifelong members, in this interesting and rewarding
role.

We are currently looking for Fundraisers in the following locations:

1. Glasgow
2. Guisborough
3. Darlington
4. Thirsk
5. Stockton on Tees
6. Southampton
7. Cardiff
8. Cambridgeshire
9. North East London
10. Surrey

If you don’t have fundraising experience, don’t worry, as full training will be provided! A
company van is just one of the amazing benefits you will receive as part of your role, so apply
today!

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.’ 

What’s in it for you? 

Join a team that is making a real difference and inspiring people to save nature! You will be
working in a rewarding role where you can draw on your own passions and interests.

You will receive:

• A contract that suits you – choose between 3, 4, and 5 days per week (7.5 hours on-site per
  day)
• A set salary, rather than working to commission
• No travel costs… as you have access to a company van, with fuel and parking paid for
• An annual volunteer day to spend with whichever charity you choose
• 34 days’ annual leave (including 8 bank holidays (pro-rata))
• Full training and comprehensive induction
• Career progression opportunities within Europe’s largest conservation charity, and up to 4
  weeks’ sabbatical opportunities for every 5 years of service

About You  

You don’t have to have fundraising experience. You don’t even need to know much about wildlife
or conservation, due to our thorough induction programme.

What you do need, is a passion for saving nature and an engaging personality, along with the
ability to tell a good story and communicate confidently. This really is a rewarding and
enjoyable role, where the only requirement is to engage and inspire!

You may have worked in other areas where you have had to build face to face relationships such
as hospitality, customer service, sales, sustainability, conservation, campaigning, income
generation, business development, retail or in a volunteering capacity. However, it is your
skills we are interested in rather than your work experience, as you will receive fantastic
training and ongoing support as you start your career.

Please note that this role will involve working weekends and bank holidays,
and to carry out this role, you will need a full driving licence valid in the UK. Should you
not possess a driving licence but still be interested in this position, please email [email protected] advising of your postcode, as in
some areas, a driving licence is not a necessity.
