We’re seeking goal orientated people with a positive, strong work ethic and a drive to make a difference!
About Us
We’re an award-winning charity fundraising agency with nearly 30 years of experience, delivering fundraising and awareness campaigns for UK charities such as Dogs Trust, Guide Dogs and Breast Cancer Now.
Our passion for fundraising continues to grow and we raise over £40m for our charity partners each year.
The Face to Face Charity Fundraiser Role
This is a pride-inducing job where you’ll be making a genuine difference to the lives of those in need while growing your skillset and career opportunities.
As the face of our charity clients, you’ll interact with the public seeking their support in the form of regular monthly direct debit donations or lottery sign ups.
All Charity Link fundraisers are employed on permanent contracts, giving you the security of a regular base income with plenty of scope to earn more.
You’ll receive charity-branded clothing and equipment, including stands, pull-ups, tables, gazebos etc., and an electronic tablet to sign up donors.
Typical working hours vary according to the venues you attend, with the aim of being there when footfall is highest. For door to door the ideal working day is 11 am‑7 pm, especially the twilight hours 5‑7 pm which are the best times to sign up donors.
This hybrid Door to Door / Private Site fundraising role means that you should be equally happy to work either on the doors or in private sites.
We welcome flexibility in our candidates. You may work on the doors during weekdays and private sites on some weekends, especially during busy show season. You may also be invited to switch to a pre‑booked private site at any time of the year where there is no other allocated fundraiser.
Door to Door fundraising takes place at pre‑allocated postcodes within reach of your own home.
Private Site fundraising takes place at a variety of shows, events, superstores and smaller stores, town centres, shopping centres and train stations. These venues are pre‑booked for you by our in‑house venues team to give you the best chance of securing donors during your shift.
While still in training during the first 12 weeks, you’ll receive an abundance of support, including a comprehensive induction week and a personal mentor.
During the role you’ll build the knowledge and skills required for success, along with resilience and confidence. Once ready for the next challenge, your opportunities and earning potential broaden.
Life as a charity fundraiser is exciting, full of challenges and rewards.
