Overview
Join to apply for the Wildlife Fundraiser, NFP PEOPLE role at Guardian Jobs.
We are recruiting Fundraisers in Colchester, with travel to Witham, Tiptree and surrounding areas. You should be able to reach these towns within an hour’s drive from your home post code.
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, on your feet, and outside your comfort zone. This role takes grit, resilience and the ability to bounce back after a tough day.
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
* 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
* Comfortable working outdoors and often alone
* Fundraising, sales, or customer service experience is a bonus – but not essential
Please note: you will be required to travel to our HQ in Sandy, Bedfordshire during your induction (6–16 October 2025). We will cover travel and accommodation costs. Full training and support will be provided.
