About the Role
Ready for a role that’s rewarding, challenging, and never dull? Are you passionate about nature and confident in striking up conversations with strangers to inspire action? As an RSPB Fundraiser in Derby, you will be a visible, passionate ambassador for nature, often outdoors and on your feet. Your daily activities will include using a company van (with fuel and parking covered) to travel to local venues, setting up eye-catching fundraising stands, and engaging the public in meaningful conversations about conservation. Your goal will be to inspire people to become RSPB members through regular direct debit support.
This role requires grit, resilience, and the ability to bounce back after tough days. It offers full training (no prior wildlife knowledge needed), a salary-based role with income stability, a company van for business use, generous annual leave (34 days including bank holidays), and sabbatical opportunities. Join a team dedicated to preserving nature and making a positive impact every day.
You will be required to attend an induction at the RSPB HQ in Sandy, Bedfordshire, with all travel and accommodation costs covered. Full training and ongoing support will be provided to help you succeed in this dynamic and meaningful role.
