Overview

Wildlife Fundraiser

No experience necessary!

Ready for a role that's rewarding, challenging - and never dull? Are you passionate about nature? Do you have the confidence to strike up conversations with strangers and inspire them to take action?

If you're looking for a job that's meaningful, dynamic, and gives you a story to tell every single day, this might be exactly what you're looking for.

This is an entry-level role and full training will be provided. A company van is one of the benefits you will receive as part of your role.

We are currently recruiting for Fundraisers in West Sussex. Please only apply if you are within a 10 mile radius of the advertised location.

Salary: £25,847.00 - £27,549.00 per annum

Contract: Permanent

Closing Date: Sun, 28th Sep 2025. We reserve the right to close this recruitment at any stage once we have made a hire.

Responsibilities

• Use a company van (with fuel and parking covered) to travel to venues in your area.
• Set up an eye-catching, informative fundraising stand.
• Engage members of the public in meaningful conversations about conservation.
• Inspire them to become RSPB members through regular direct debit support.

You'll be a visible, passionate ambassador for nature — often outdoors, often on your feet, and often outside your comfort zone. This role requires grit, resilience, and the ability to bounce back after a tough day.

What We'll Set You Up For

• Full training provided - no wildlife knowledge needed!
• Salary-based role (not commission-based) with set income stability.
• Company van included for business use, with all expenses covered.
• Generous 34 days annual leave (incl. bank holidays), plus sabbatical opportunities.

About You

• A passion for people and a belief in the power of conservation (we'll teach you the rest!)
• Resilience: the ability to face rejection and keep going with positivity.
• Confidence speaking to strangers and working towards clear targets.
• A full UK driving licence.
• Availability to work 3 out of 4 weekends.
• Willingness to travel up to an hour from home.
• Comfortable working outdoors and often alone.
• Fundraising, sales, or customer service experience is a bonus - but not essential.

Please note, you will be required to travel to the HQ in Sandy, Bedfordshire during your induction which will start on 6 October 2025 and you will be required to travel to our HQ from 13–16 October. We will cover all associated costs for travel and accommodation. Full training and support will be provided.
