• Resilience and positivity when faced with challenges.
• Comfortable working outdoors and independently.
• A full UK driving licence.
• Willingness to travel on average up to one hour each way from home.
• Fundraising, sales or customer service experience (desirable).
• Availability to work 3 out of 4 weekends per month.
