Job description

Great causes need great salespeople. If you want to make money supporting great causes, this is the role for you.

At Charity Link, we deliver door-to-door sales & fundraising campaigns for some of the UK's most respected charities. In this role, you will be working exclusively with Dogs Trust, representing the charity directly to the public as a permanent member of our sales team.

Role Overview

This is a sales role with a cause at its heart. As a Field Sales Executive, you’ll work exclusively with Dogs Trust, knocking on doors & building relationships with people, inviting them to set up an ongoing monthly donation.

At CharityLink, you get a guaranteed basic salary, so you’re never relying on commission alone. Hit your targets & your commission builds on top, with the potential to earn over £50,000 a year.

You’ll start with full training, followed by guidance from our venues team on where to fundraise. Our venues team have plenty of experience finding lucrative areas to visit, however as you show you can hit your targets consistently, you earn more freedom to shape your own approach.

We’re looking for people who are motivated by earning, care about supporting Dogs Trust & have the resilience to keep pursuing their targets. This is an outdoor role & you’ll be on your feet in all weathers, so we provide the equipment & clothing you need to stay protected.

Key Responsibilities

• Fundraise in the areas recommended by our venues team, with more say over where, as you build a record of hitting target
• Open conversations with residents & make every doorstep count
• Share the story & impact behind the Dogs Trust campaign & make the case for regular giving
• Handle objections confidently & convert conversations into long-term monthly donors
• Stay positive & keep your energy up through rejection & tough days
• Record donor details accurately on your tablet, following data protection & fundraising regulatory standards
• Travel independently between postcodes
• Represent Dogs Trust in a professional, ethical & positive way

What You’ll Bring

• Self-motivation & the discipline to work independently
• Drive, resilience & a competitive streak
• A target-driven approach to sales
• A genuine passion for charitable causes, particularly Dogs Trust
• The stamina for a role that keeps you on your feet
• Door-to-door sales experience is desirable but not essential, as full training is provided

Salary & Benefits

• Guaranteed basic salary, so you’re never starting from zero
• Uncapped commission: the more you sign up, the more you earn
• On-target earnings of £47,000, with the potential to earn over £50,000 by averaging three sign-ups a day
• Full training & ongoing support
• Opportunities for career progression
• Regular incentives
• Generous referral scheme

Working Hours

Full-time, five days a week, with some flexibility around your hours & no requirement to work weekends. As you build a consistent record of hitting target, you’ll have more freedom to shape your days.

Your Area

Our venues team will suggest strong locations while you’re getting up to speed. Once you’ve shown you can hit your targets consistently, you can take more ownership of where you fundraise. Fundraisers can work close to home, but further travel is possible where there’s an opportunity. Mileage is reimbursed beyond 20 miles.

Training & Development

You’ll complete a structured training programme, followed by continuous support. All equipment, including uniform, tablet & fundraising materials, is supplied.
