Field Sales Fundraiser

We're looking for people with a great personality, a positive attitude and a strong work ethic.

About Us

We are an award-winning Charity fundraising agency with nearly 30 years' experience, delivering fundraising and awareness campaigns for some of the UK's most well-known charities such as Dogs Trust, Guide Dogs and Breast Cancer Now. Our passion for fundraising continues to grow and we raise over £20m for our charity partners each year.

The Private Site Fundraising Role

Our Private Site fundraisers are employed by Charity Link on permanent contracts, fulltime or part-time and enjoy a base rate, meaning you'll always know a minimum income with plenty of potential to earn more.

You'll be the public face of our charity partners with a mission to interact with the public and get their support in the form of regular monthly direct debit donations or lottery sign ups.

Private Site fundraising takes place at a vast array of shows, events, superstores and smaller stores, town centres, shopping centres and even train stations.  These venues are pre-booked for you by our in-house venues team, whose focus is to give you the very best chance of securing as many donors as possible during your shift. 

Charity-branded clothing and equipment (stands, pull-ups, tables, gazebos etc...) are provided as well as an electric tablet to sign up donors. 

What happens next

The hiring process has the following steps:

• CV application review - we aim to review your application as quickly as possible
• Let's talk - one of our team will contact you to discuss your experience and the role
• Virtual Interview - 1 hour video interview with one of our recruiters
• Fundraiser Experience - 1 hour in the field walking alongside an experienced door to door fundraiser so you can experience first-hand what the job entails and demonstrate an ability to open a conversation with a member of the public
