RSPB Fundraising Direct are currently recruiting for a fundraiser based in the Cambridgeshire area who will represent us in Cambridgeshire travelling to events within Cambridgeshire. You will be travelling to locations within 1 hour 30 minutes from your front door and require a full UK driving license and access to your own vehicle.
The role of a fundraiser is to discuss the work of the RSPB with members of the general public at private sites such as supermarkets, shopping centres, garden centres, farmers markets, summer shows, food fairs, music festivals and anywhere else people may be in order to recruit them as members of the RSPB via paying a £6.50 monthly donation.
We're offering a market leading package that includes between £65 and £85 per day guaranteed basic, up to £60 commission per membership (commission is available from your first shift), travel expenses and the most up to date RSPB materials to help you engage with the public.
Are you passionate about saving the planet?
Do you think nature is amazing and want to keep it that way?
Are you interested in helping wildlife and getting paid for it too?
Are you an enthusiastic person who enjoys meeting new people?
If you can answer yes to the above questions then a role within RSPB Fundraising Direct might be for you.
The RSPB is no stranger to face-to-face activity. Back in Victorian times it was one of the first street campaigning organisations. More recently, the RSPB has evolved this form of community campaigning into recruiting new members to the charity through face-to-face engagement on RSPB nature reserves, at county fairs, farmers' markets and most recently at private sites like shopping centres and supermarkets.
In April 2009 the RSPB embarked on a mission to bring their private site face to face fundraising under their own wing to ensure that all of the money received from our members goes directly into the charity. Since 2009 we have been highly successful in growing our operations from a small team of fundraisers working in London, in to a team covering most counties in England. We are currently recruiting for field fundraisers who are able to discuss the work of the RSPB with members of the general public at private sites such as supermarkets, shopping centres, garden centres, farmers markets and anywhere else people may be. If you have the drive and determination to exceed and have experience talking to members of the general public alongside a can-do attitude we want to hear from you.
Our extensive training programme part of which will be based at one of our 200+ reserves gives you the opportunity to enjoy first hand where the RSPB spends donations to allow you to talk confidently and with experience about the work which we do. You will learn about the current campaigns we are supporting including Save the Tropical Rainforest Project, Saving Species - Albatross Taskforce, Saving places for nature, Hope Farm and the Marine Bill. We also provide full training of what it means to fundraise for the RSPB. This coupled with our on-going mentoring and coaching ensures our fundraisers are highly skilled and informed about the work of the RSPB.
It is a highly exciting time in RSPB Fundraising Direct and we are planning another year of growth in 2013. This means we will be operating in new territories which will no doubt lead to fantastic progression and re-location opportunities.
