Wildlife Fundraiser

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

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.
