Job description

Overview

Wildlife Fundraiser – No experience necessary!

Ready for a role that's rewarding, challenging and never dull? If you’re passionate about nature and confident enough to strike up conversations with strangers to inspire action, this may be for you.

If you’re seeking a meaningful, dynamic job with a daily story to tell, this might be exactly what you’re looking for.

We are currently recruiting for Fundraisers in Matlock. Please only apply if you are within 10 miles of this location or surrounding towns.

Role

Position: Wildlife Fundraiser Sheffield

Ref: SEP20251261

Location: Sheffield

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

Contract: Permanent

Closing Date: Sun, 12th Oct 2025. We reserve the right to close this recruitment at any stage once we have made a hire.

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.

But it's not just about the benefits — it's about the impact you'll make. Join a team dedicated to preserving nature and inspiring others to do the same. 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. For a full list of induction dates please refer to the recruitment pack when you apply. We will cover all associated costs for travel and accommodation. Full training and support will be provided.
