Are you passionate about conservation and great at connecting with people? Maybe you’re looking for a career path where you can make a genuine impact? We are looking for a dedicated individual to join our team as Membership Recruiter and help grow our community of wildlife supporters!
In this role, you’ll engage with the public at exciting venues and events across Scotland, encouraging people to support wildlife conservation by becoming members of our client.
About our client:
Our client are Scotland’s leading nature conservation charity, and with 1 in 9 species in Scotland at risk of extinction, their work has never been more important.
From major species and landscape restoration projects, to managing their network of wildlife reserves and campaigning for nature, they work for Scotland’s wildlife year-round.
They want to give a voice to nature, but can’t do it without the support of their members.
This role as Membership Recruiter is critical to the success of our work, and for the future of Scotland’s wildlife and wild places.
The Role
Our client are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated Membership Recruiter to join their team.
No day is the same for our Membership Recruiters – you will travel around varied, exciting and unique venues throughout Scotland, all within a 1 hour radius of your home base, unless otherwise arranged with your line manager. Your days will be spent managing your own membership stall, actively engaging with the public and inspiring them to become members of the Trust.
Membership recruiters are often the first point of contact for people who are yet to learn about their work. And so, whilst the main part of this role is to recruit new members, our recruitment team also work hard to inspire the public to become as passionate about wildlife as we are. Whilst experience is desirable, we are open to meeting the right fit for our team, and this position comes with direct training, with your fuel and parking costs paid for on top of your salary and commission. You’ll also have your own vehicle provided for business use.
As a member of their recruitment team, you will:
* Actively contribute to our vision of a healthier, wilder, Scotland.
* Attend venues and events as a Membership Recruiter
* Use appropriate communication and sales techniques (with no ‘hard sell’) to encourage members of the public to join the Scottish Wildlife Trust.
The successful candidate will:
* Be an engaging communicator – you can comfortably build rapport with members of the public and colleagues.
* Be a self-starting individual who is confident with lone-working.
* Be well-organised with good administrative skills.
* Have some knowledge of conservation and wildlife in Scotland.
* Hold experience in a customer-facing role such as Direct or Field Sales or Customer Service with experience of working to targets.
* Have the flexibility to work weekends.
* Be comfortable with working outdoors and independently.
* Have a full UK driving licence – there is no requirement to have your own vehicle.
Our client is a passionate employer, proactive about creating a culture of diversity and inclusive workplace that promotes and values equal opportunities for all. Our client welcomes individuals from all networks of life, backgrounds, and experiences.
