About You
You don’t have to have fundraising experience. You don’t even need to know much about wildlife or conservation due to our thorough induction programme.
You need a passion for saving nature, resilience, an engaging personality, and the ability to tell a good story and communicate confidently. This is both a challenging and rewarding role, with the only requirement to engage and inspire them to want to support through regular giving.
You may have worked in other areas where you have had to build face-to-face relationships, such as hospitality, customer service, sales, sustainability, conservation, campaigning, income generation, business development, retail, or in a volunteering capacity. However, it is your skills we are interested in rather than your work experience, as you will receive excellent training and ongoing support as you start your career.
Please note that you will need a full driving license and the right to work in the UK to carry out this role. Should you have an automatic license, please inform us as soon as possible so that we can make arrangements for an automatic van.
