At Canal & River Trust we are currently looking for Charity Fundraisers (Towpath/Street & Private Site) to join our friendly team based in Birmingham. The successful candidates will join us on a part time basis, working 30 hours per week and will receive an hourly rate of £9 per hour with a competitive commission structure. An Immediate start is available for the right candidate!

We are a charity entrusted with protecting and improving 2000 miles of waterways that flows through the most vibrant cities and countryside across England & Wales. The local canal and rivers provide a haven for people and nature, and the Canal & River Trust is here so you have a place to escape. This is a place where you can step off the pavement, onto the towpath and breathe.

Many people don’t realise that our waterways are only here thanks to the efforts of thousands of volunteers and the generous donations we receive from our Friends. To be able to continue to protect our waterways for future generations to come, we need people who share our passion for them. As a result we are looking for people to come on board as a multi-site fundraiser. Have a look at the role below and hopefully we’ll hear from you soon…
