Imagine a job where:

2. 80% of staff work 3 or 4 days per week.
3. You can work hours between 9am to 7pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 3pm on Saturdays.
4. Working hours vary weekly to accommodate personal commitments, with options to compress hours over two weeks for days off.
5. Most work within half an hour of home, with travel time included in the contract and travel allowances provided.
6. The company closes over Christmas and New Year for at least a week for a proper break.
7. Training is comprehensive, remote, and supported by ongoing coaching.

We prioritize supporting a healthy work-life balance, offering flexible local work and a culture that values your life outside work. It’s a meaningful job with rewards.

We work on behalf of a great cause

Dementia is a major health and social challenge, with an estimated 900,000 people in the UK affected. Many remain undiagnosed and face their condition alone. The Alzheimer’s Society, supported by donors, is changing this.

They provide vital support, hold decision-makers accountable, and fund innovative research to improve lives.

What is the job?

The role involves fundraising as a third-party agent, employed by The Fundraising Partnership, representing and raising funds for Alzheimer’s Society. You will engage with local people at their homes, explaining the charity’s work, and encouraging them to support through regular donations.

How You Can Make a Difference

Successful fundraisers typically raise over £400,000 annually. With experience, you could raise over £2 million in five years, making a significant impact in matters of life and death.
