Field Sales Executive

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, raising over £40m for our charity partners each year.

Our Private Site fundraisers are employed by Charity Link on permanent contracts, full-time or part-time, and enjoy a base rate, meaning you'll always know a minimum income with plenty of potential to earn more. This role really does make a difference to people's lives! 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, 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. The working day itself will vary according to the venues you work, and you should aim to be there when footfall is at its maximum. That means you'll need to be flexible as to what hours you work, the evening being a particularly good time to find potential donors. Charity-branded clothing and equipment (stands, pull-ups, tables, gazebos etc.) are provided as well as an electric tablet to sign up donors.

A Great Candidate Has:

• A positive attitude and a strong work ethic. You're motivated to reach and surpass targets, working under your own initiative.
• Previous experience in a customer-facing role such as sales, customer service or field sales.
• Excellent communication skills with demonstrable expertise interacting with the public and an ability to build immediate face-to-face rapport.
• The ability to work Saturdays - the weekends are peak times for sign-ups!
• Full UK Driving license and access to your own vehicle.
• The willingness to work outside in all weather.
• The desire to become a passionate advocate for the charity you represent.

Employee Benefits:

• £25.4K basic salary + uncapped discretionary bonus (£47K+ OTE).
• 28 days annual leave with flexi holiday scheme.
• Pension plan.
• Healthcare plan worth up to £900 per annum.
• Death in service plan, twice your annual salary.
• Award-winning training and ongoing support.
• Shopping discounts at over 30,000 retailers.
• Generous referral scheme.
• Long service awards - includes extra holiday, cash gifts and additional healthcare.
• Regular incentives and discretionary bonus.
• Career development opportunities.

Life as a charity fundraiser is an exciting one, full of challenges and even more rewards. No two days are the same and you'll meet and connect with some of the best kinds of people. If you're confident, optimistic, resilient and love talking to people, this could be your calling!
