Role

Are you passionate about conservation and great at connecting with people? Maybe you’re looking for a career path where you can make a genuine impact? We are looking for a dedicated individual to join our team as Membership Recruiter and help grow our community of wildlife supporters!

In this role, you’ll engage with the public at exciting venues and events across Scotland, encouraging people to support wildlife conservation by becoming members of the Scottish Wildlife Trust.

About us:

We are Scotland’s leading nature conservation charity, and with 1 in 9 species in Scotland at risk of extinction, our work has never been more important.

From major species and landscape restoration projects to managing our network of wildlife reserves and campaigning for nature, we work for Scotland’s wildlife year-round.

We want to give a voice to nature, but we can’t do it without the support of our members.

This role as Membership Recruiter is critical to the success of our work and the future of Scotland’s wildlife and wild places.

The Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated Membership Recruiter to join our team.

No day is the same for our Membership Recruiters – you will travel around varied, exciting, and unique venues throughout Scotland, all within a 1-hour radius of your home base unless otherwise arranged with your line manager. Your days will be spent managing your own membership stall, actively engaging with the public, and inspiring them to become members of the Trust.

Our membership recruiters are often the first point of contact for people who are yet to learn about our work. While the main part of this role is to recruit new members, our recruitment team also works hard to inspire the public to become as passionate about wildlife as we are. Experience is desirable, but we are open to meeting the right fit for our team. This position includes training, with your fuel and parking costs paid for on top of your salary and commission. You’ll also have your own vehicle provided for business use.

As a member of our recruitment team, you will:

• Actively contribute to our vision of a healthier, wilder Scotland.
• Attend venues and events as a Membership Recruiter.
• Use appropriate communication and sales techniques (with no ‘hard sell’) to encourage members of the public to join the Scottish Wildlife Trust.

The successful candidate will:

• Be an engaging communicator – comfortable building rapport with members of the public and colleagues.
• Be a self-starting individual confident with lone-working.
• Be well-organized with good administrative skills.
• Have some knowledge of conservation and wildlife in Scotland.
• Have experience in a customer-facing role such as direct or field sales or customer service, with experience working to targets.
• Have the flexibility to work weekends.
• Be comfortable working outdoors and independently.
• Hold a full UK driving licence – owning a vehicle is not required.

Application notes

Closing date: 30th June 2025 at 12 noon.

Interviews will be conducted on a per-application basis, so early applications are encouraged.

The Trust is a passionate employer, proactive in creating a diverse and inclusive workplace that promotes equal opportunities for all. We welcome individuals from all backgrounds and experiences.
