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, with fuel and parking paid for;

* An annual volunteer day either with the RSPB or another charity of your choosing;

* 34 days’ annual leave (including 8 bank holidays (pro-rata));

* Full training and comprehensive induction; and

* Career progression opportunities within Europe's largest conservation charity.

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 driving licence (manual or automatic); and

* Happy to work 3 out of 4 weekends, and bank holidays.

Desirable skills, knowledge and experience:

* Fundraising/sales experience

The closing date for this vacancy is Sunday 5th June at midnight.

We run a monthly induction for all new Membership Fundraisers around the UK, and are currently recruiting new starters for a start date of either 4th July 2022 or 4th August 2022.

Please note that we are actively recruiting for this role, and reserve the right to close this vacancy once sufficient applications have been received.
