• 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.

Note: You will be required to travel to our HQ in Sandy, Bedfordshire during induction (6–16 October 2025). Travel and accommodation costs will be covered. Full training and support will be provided. Please refer to the recruitment pack for full details.
