About 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, often on your feet, and often outside your comfort zone. This role takes grit, resilience, and the ability to bounce back after a tough day. But for those who thrive on purpose and people, it can be deeply fulfilling.
What we need from 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 in any given month.
* 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
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
