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 day, this might be exactly what you're looking for.

If you don't have fundraising experience, this is an entry-level role and full training will be provided. A company van is just one of the amazing benefits you will receive as part of your role… so apply today!

We are currently recruiting for Fundraisers Frome. Please only apply if you are able to reach these towns within an hour's drive from your home post code.

Position: Wildlife Fundraiser Frome

Ref: SEP20250677

Location: Frome

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

Contract: Permanent

Closing Date: Sun, 5th Oct 2025. We reserve the right to close this recruitment at any stage once we have made a hire.

The Role

This is not your average 9-5.

Each day you'll:

• Use your 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 takes grit, resilience, and the ability to bounce back after a tough day. But for those who thrive on purpose and people, it can be deeply fulfilling.

We’ll Set You Up for Success

• 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.

What do current employees say about this fantastic position?

'Securing a membership is always a great feeling that stays with you. Being able to talk about things you are passionate about and learn a lot about wildlife is a real plus.'

But it's not just about the benefits - it's about the impact you'll make. Join a team that's dedicated to preserving nature and inspiring others to do the same. Your role will be pivotal in driving positive change, and you'll have the support of a diverse and inclusive community every step of the way.

About You

What we need from 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 each way every day.
• Comfortable working outdoors and often alone.
• Fundraising, sales, or customer service experience.

Please note, you will be required to travel to our HQ in Sandy, Bedfordshire during your induction which will start on the 6th of October 2025 and you will be required to travel to our HQ from the 13th - 16th of October.
