Who are we looking for?

You may have worked in sales previously – Avon, Energy Sales, Catalogue Sales, Direct Sales, Door‑to‑Door Sales, Field Sales, Broadband Sales or as a Brand Ambassador – if this is the case we would love to hear from you.

Or you might be brand new to this and simply looking for a job that gives back to your local community. Either way, our fundraisers come from all kinds of backgrounds including financial services, teaching, management, retail and many more. Most of our best people are just great conversationalists who in day‑to‑day life end up talking with people when walking the dog or in a queue.

Applicants must have permanent access to a vehicle, driver’s licence, appropriate insurance and MOT.

Job Requirements and Details

You will be ethical and take pride in doing a job the right way. You need interpersonal skills, to be a good listener and be able to communicate effectively. You don’t need to be really persuasive or great at making speeches – this isn’t a typical sales job.

Most of all you need to have real integrity and self‑motivation. We employ good people, treat them well and we trust our people to work to high standards. All types of people from all sorts of backgrounds can be successful at this job.

It is an hourly paid role, enhanced by a commission with full‑time and part‑time options. You will need to have a car but will typically be working within 30 minutes of your home, and will be paid for your travel.

You need to be reasonably mobile and physically fit and active, but we can train you in all other parts of the job.

Benefits of the Role

There are many benefits to this role:

• 3 / 4 / 5 day roles available (21–35 hours per week)
• When established in the role you can be flexible with the hours you work
• Compress your hours over 2 weeks to get blocks of days off
• Work close to home
• Comprehensive remote home study training, followed by ongoing support when in the role
• Guaranteed hourly rate with bonus for exceeding targets
• 20 days holiday with an extra day off on your birthday
