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);
• 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!

Closing date: 23:59, Sun, 1st Sep 2024
