Door to Door Fundraiser Part Time

Stoke-on-trent, Staffordshire
Charity Link

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 BCN. Our passion for fundraising continues to grow and we raise over £20m for our charity partners each year.

The Role

Our door-to-door Fundraisers are employed by Charity Link on permanent contracts, fulltime or part-time. Door to door fundraising takes place in pre-allocated areas by postcode, visiting specific streets and houses. This works well for people who prefer to work outside and prefer a quieter pace. You’ll cover about 1 mile an hour and will be on your feet for your whole shift, so we recommend comfortable shoes! Charity-branded uniform is provided as well as an electric tablet to sign up donors. Core hours are 11am-7pm. Its particularly important that you can work the twilight hours (5-7pm) when most people are at home.

You will be the public face of one of our charities, interacting with the public and seeking their support by way of regular monthly direct debit donations or lottery sign-ups. This role really does make a difference to people’s lives!

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
