Are you passionate about conservation and great at connecting with people? Maybe you’re
looking for a career path where you can make a genuine impact? We are looking for a dedicated
individual to join our team as Membership Recruiter and help grow our community of wildlife
supporters!

In this role, you’ll engage with the public at exciting venues and events across Scotland,
encouraging people to support wildlife conservation by becoming members of the Scottish
Wildlife Trust.

About us:

We Are Scotland’s leading nature conservation charity, and with 1 in 9 species in Scotland at
risk of extinction, our work has never been more important.

From major species and landscape restoration projects, to managing our network of wildlife
reserves and campaigning for nature, we work for Scotland’s wildlife year-round.

We want to give a voice to nature, but we can’t do it without the support of our members.

This role as Membership Recruiter is critical to the success of our work, and for the future of
Scotland’s wildlife and wild places.

The Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated Membership Recruiter to join our team.

No day is the same for our Membership Recruiters – you will travel around varied, exciting and
unique venues throughout Scotland, all within a 1 hour radius of your home base, unless
otherwise arranged with your line manager. Your days will be spent managing your own membership
stall, actively engaging with the public and inspiring them to become members of the Trust.

Our membership recruiters are often the first point of contact for people who are yet to learn
about our work. And so, whilst the main part of this role is to recruit new members, our
recruitment team also work hard to inspire the public to become as passionate about wildlife as
we are. Whilst experience is desirable, we are open to meeting the right fit for our team, and
this position comes with direct training, with your fuel and parking costs paid for on top of
your salary and commission. You’ll also have your own vehicle provided for business use.

As a member of our recruitment team, you will:

• Actively contribute to our vision of a healthier, wilder, Scotland.
• Attend venues and events as a Membership Recruiter
• Use appropriate communication and sales techniques (with no ‘hard sell’) to encourage
  members of the public to join the Scottish Wildlife Trust.

The successful candidate will:

• Be an engaging communicator – you can comfortably build rapport with members of the public
  and colleagues.
• Be a self-starting individual who is confident with lone-working.
• Be well-organised with good administrative skills.
• Have some knowledge of conservation and wildlife in Scotland.
• Hold experience in a customer-facing role such as Direct or Field Sales or Customer Service
  with experience of working to targets.
• Have the flexibility to work weekends.
• Be comfortable with working outdoors and independently.
• Have a full UK driving licence – there is no requirement to have your own vehicle.

Closing date: 30th June 2025 at 12 noon 

The Trust is a passionate employer, proactive about creating a culture of diversity and
inclusive workplace that promotes and values equal opportunities for all. We welcome
individuals from all networks of life, backgrounds, and experiences.
