Telephone Fundraiser (home working)
Role description:
Are you passionate about global and social issues? Do you want a role where every conversation has the power to make a real difference?
We're looking for personable, enthusiastic, and motivated individuals to represent a wide range of incredible charities and non-profits over the phone. From international NGOs to local Wildlife Trusts, and from women's and LGBT+ rights to animal welfare, child protection, and national health causes—you'll be at the heart of campaigns that matter.
What you'll be doing:
· Speaking with existing supporters who already care about the cause—no cold calling.
· Having meaningful, engaging conversations about important issues.
· Inspiring people to deepen their support through welcome calls, membership, cross-sell, legacy giving, and more.
· Making confident, compassionate fundraising asks on behalf of our charity partners.
Why join us?
· A supportive, friendly, and values-driven team environment.
· 'Call guides' not monotone calling scripts—we want you to be yourself
· A chance to build communication and persuasion skills that will stay with you for life.
· The satisfaction of knowing your work directly helps charities continue their vital missions.
If you're motivated, empathetic, and want to use your voice to create change, this could be the perfect role for you.
