Employed by The Fundraising Partnership, you would be a Fundraiser representing and generating donations on behalf of some of the most loved charities in the UK. Your job will be to have wonderful, genuine passionate conversations with the general public to support the charity with a small regular donation.

Depending on the needs of the charity in your area and your experience, this can be within major retail stores or by talking to local people at their homes knocking door-to-door. You’ll express the needs of the charity and ask supporters to become a regular donor by signing up to a monthly Direct Debit donation.

Who are we looking for?

You may have worked in sales previously, whether that is Avon, Energy Sales, Catalogue Sales, Direct Sales, Door-to-Door Sales, Field Sales, Broadband Sales or as a Brand Ambassador if this is the case, we would love to hear from you.

Or you might be brand new to this and simply looking for a job that gives back to your local community. Either way, our fundraisers come from all kinds of backgrounds including financial services, teaching, management, retail and many more. Most of our best people are just great conversationalists who in day-to-day life end up talking with people when walking the dog or in a queue.

Applicants must have permanent access to a vehicle, drivers licence, appropriate insurance and MOT.

Job requirements and details

You will be ethical and take pride in doing a job the right way. You need interpersonal skills, to be a good listener and be able to communicate effectively, however you don’t need to be really persuasive or great at making speeches as this isn’t a typical sales job.

Most of all you need to have real integrity and self-motivation. We employ good people, treat them well and we trust our people to work to high standards. All types of people from all sorts of backgrounds can be successful at this job.

It is an hourly paid role, enhanced by a commission with full-time and part-time options. You will need to have a car but will typically be working within 30 minutes of your home, and we’ll pay your for your travel.

You need to be reasonably mobile and physically fit and active, but we can train you in all other parts of the job.

There are many other benefits to this role.

This role can offer you genuine work life balance.

· 3 / 4 / 5 day roles available (21 – 35 hours per week)

· When established in the role you can be flexible with the hours you work

· Compress your hours over 2 weeks to get blocks of days off.

· Work close to home

· Comprehensive remote home study training, followed by ongoing support when in the role.

· Guaranteed hourly rate with bonus for exceeding targets

· 20 days holiday with an extra day off on your birthday

· Time off over Christmas

· Daily mileage allowance

· Autonomy to manage your own working day, yet support when you need it.

We think supporting a good work-life balance for our staff is business-critical. That is why we start our recruitment adverts talking about how our jobs can deliver that for you rather than boasting about how great we think we are as a company. Instead, we offer flexible local working and a culture that supports you maximising your life outside of work.

St Andrew's Hospice is an amazing charity

St Andrew's Hospice's mission is to make each day count for people with life-limiting illnesses and support those who care for them. The adult inpatient unit at St Andrew's Hospice is a welcoming, homely environment where patients can receive round-the-clock nursing care and compassion.

Andy's is the children's and young person's service, which delivers care to people aged from birth to 25 years old. It includes services offered by the support and wellbeing team. Andy's services are available to young people with a life-limiting illness living in Northern Lincolnshire and the counties of Lincolnshire, Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire.

It currently costs more than £5.5million each year to provide free care for everyone who needs their services

How you can make a difference

A typical fundraiser will raise more than £400,000 for the charity every year that they work for. So you would be doing a job where after 5 years of work, through your professionalism, integrity, and hard work you could raise more than £2 million for charities that deal, quite literally, in matters of life and death.

You may have worked in sales previously, whether that is Avon, utilities, catalogues, credit cards or for charities. Or you might be brand new to this and simply looking for a job that gives back to your local community. Either way, our fundraisers come from all kinds of backgrounds including financial services, teaching, management, retail and many more. Most of our best people are just great conversationalists who in day-to-day life end up talking with people when walking the dog or in a queue.
