Fundraiser – Arne

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity that allows you to integrate your passion for nature with your exceptional communication skills? Join us at Europe’s largest nature conservation charity and make a real difference as a Fundraiser! 

The ideal candidate will be based in the advertised location. Please only apply to this vacancy if you are based within a 10 mile radius of the advertised location, unless you are in the process of relocating. You can expect to be fundraising both at our Arne Nature Reserve as well as at some off site venues, so the chosen candidate should be happy to travel.

About the role

Each day you will use your company van to travel to different venues around your local area, set up an attractive fundraising stand, and spend the day actively engaging with members of the public, spreading awareness about our conservation efforts and generating new RSPB memberships via direct debits. 

Don’t worry if you’re not a wildlife expert yet – we provide comprehensive training to equip you with all the knowledge you need. Plus, you’ll enjoy the added perk of a company van, with fuel and parking costs paid for. 

What’s even better? You’ll have the flexibility to choose a contract between 3 to 5 days per week, and enjoy the stability of a set salary, rather than working on commission. With 34 days of annual leave (including bank holidays) and opportunities for sabbaticals, we value your work-life balance and well-being. 

What do current employees say about this role?  

‘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.’ 

But it’s not just about the benefits – it’s about the impact you’ll make. Join a team that’s dedicated to preserving nature and inspiring others to do the same. Your role will be pivotal in driving positive change, and you’ll have the support of a diverse and inclusive community every step of the way. 

What we need from you: 

  • A passion for conservation (no prior knowledge required);
  • Resilience
  • Ability to work to targets;
  • A driver’s licence valid for use in the UK;
  • Happy to work 3 out of 4 weekends;
  • Happy to travel (on average) an hour away from home each day;
  • Willingness to work outdoors and independently;
  • Fundraising/Sales and Customer Service experience (desirable).

Whether you’re from a hospitality, customer service, sales, or volunteering background, we’re more interested in your negotiating/storytelling skills and enthusiasm than your previous experience. 

If you’re ready to embark on an exciting journey with us and help create a world richer in nature, apply now! You will be asked to upload your CV and complete a short online application form once you select ‘apply’.

This is a 6 month post with both onsite and offsite fundraising. We reserve the right to extend/make permanent without the need for advertising.

We are looking for starters to join our team across the next few months. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our dedicated Resourcing Advisor: [email protected] 

We are committed to developing an inclusive and diverse RSPB, in which everyone feels supported, valued, and able to be their full selves. To achieve our vision of creating a world richer in nature, we need more people, and more diverse people, on nature’s side. People of colour and disabled people are currently underrepresented across the environment, climate, sustainability, and conservation sector. If you identify as a person of colour and/or disabled, we are particularly interested in receiving your application. Contact us to discuss any additional support you may need to complete your application. 

This role is not eligible for UK Visa Sponsorship – the successful applicant will need to have a pre-existing Right to Work in the UK in order to be offered an employment contract.

The RSPB is an equal opportunities employer. This role is covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. 

Please note that we are actively recruiting for this vacancy, and reserve the right to close this recruitment at any stage of the application process.
