Employed by the organisation, you would be a Fundraiser representing and generating donations on behalf of Alzheimer's Society. Your job will be to have wonderful, genuine passionate conversations with the general public to support The Alzheimer's Society 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 they 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, they 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, their fundraisers come from all kinds of backgrounds including financial services, teaching, management, retail and many more. Most of their 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.
Who are they?
They are an ethical employer, who are committed to setting new standards and changing the face of face-to-face fundraising. They pride themselves on putting the charity and their donors first and they realise that their company only succeeds when their fundraisers succeed. As such they respect, value and care for their employees. They only look to recruit recruiting quality, long term donors when the charity benefits and as a by-product, they benefit.
They are proud of the work they do.
They are proud of the values they have.
They are proud of their fundraisers.
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. They employ good people, treat them well and they trust their 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 they'll pay your for your travel.
You need to be reasonably mobile and physically fit and active, but they 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.
They think supporting a good work-life balance for ther staff is business-critical. That is why they start their recruitment adverts talking about how their jobs can deliver that for you rather than boasting about how great they think they are as a company. Instead, they offer flexible local working and a culture that supports you maximising your life outside of work.
This is an amazing charity
The Children's Hospice helps seriously and terminally ill children live life to the full by creating wonderful experiences and bringing back a sense of normality to family life. By providing specialist nursing care and emotional support they help families smile again when life couldn't get any tougher.
The House staff includes nurses, physiotherapists, play specialists, counsellors, and perinatal specialists. Not all families want to come to the hospice, so the team goes out to visit them in their homes. They have programmes to support siblings and grandparents and the whole family.
