What's the role about?
Our Membership Fundraisers are the ambassadors for the RSPB; travelling to a local venue each day in their company van, where they set up an attractive fundraising stand and spend the day actively engaging with members of the public.
Every day our Membership Fundraisers are playing a vital role in our efforts to help give nature the home it deserves. They do this by having engaging conversations with people about our conservation work, educating the public about how they can help wildlife from home, and inspiring people of all ages to become lifelong members of the RSPB so that we can make a real difference to our natural world!
Benefits:
Opportunity to join a great team which is making a real difference and inspiring people to save nature;
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;
A company van, fuel card, and parking expenses;
An annual volunteer day either with the RSPB or another charity of your choosing;
34 days' paid holiday including 8 bank holidays (pro-rata);
Full training and comprehensive induction; and
Career progression opportunities within conservation.
What we need from you:
You don't need to know much about birds, nor do you need to know much about conservation, as we run a thorough induction program and offer fantastic training and ongoing support. Essential skills, knowledge and experience that we are looking for include:
Enthusiasm and passion for saving nature;
Enjoy working outdoors - solo as well as part of a team;
A good story-teller and a confident communicator;
A resilience to rejection;
Experience in a customer-facing role;
Comfortable asking people for monthly donations;
A full, manual driving licence;
Access to the Microsoft Office suite at home; and
Willing to work during weekends and bank holidays.
Desirable skills, knowledge and experience:
Fundraising/sales experience
This is a permanent position, and 3, 4, or 5-day per week contracts are available. The closing date for this vacancy is Sunday 6th February at midnight. This position is covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
