recruiter Doncaster, England
Job description
Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is one of the UK’s fastest growing nature conservation organisations and we are seeking a chatty and confident nature lover to join our successful team and inspire the public to take urgent action for wildlife and wild places through membership.
As a Wildlife Supporter Officer, you will be on the very front line of our charitable nature conservation mission, utilising your strong sales skills and your friendly and persuasive personality to encourage people to give us their financial support to bring about nature’s vital recovery.
A typical working day will revolve around enthusing anyone and everyone you meet to take small and manageable steps to becoming a force for nature. You will work at a variety of events and locations across Yorkshire, including our very own nature reserves, farmers' markets, shopping centres, country shows and major festivals. Here you will pass on your passion for our charity's work and inspire people to support us with the help of a fully branded gazebo and interactive display set up.
Experience in sales and fundraising within either the private or charity sector would be a distinct advantage, through full training and support will be given to ensure you are ready, confident, and prepared to recruit members. You will be required to represent the charity in a professional manner at all times, understand and adhere to fundraising regulations and keep up to date with our work by conducting your own research and attending team meetings, both virtually and in-person.
This role does not require you to have an office base. Instead, you will work remotely across Yorkshire within a reasonable travel distance of your home. You must have access to a personal vehicle with business insurance. You will be based at Selby, Doncaster, Leeds or Ripon, and at the nearest high-footfall YWT nature reserve to your home.
Closing date: Monday 24th July 2023 at 9:00am
Interview date: Tuesday 8th August and Thursday 10th August 2023 in York
