Full or Part time roles available (21-35hrs) £30,000 - £60,000 OTE (guaranteed hourly rate of £12.71). Flexible working hours. Full training and ongoing support given. 20 days holiday (pro-rata) plus an extra day off on your birthday. Pension scheme.

Employed by The Fundraising Partnership, you would be a Fundraiser representing and generating donations on behalf of Demelza children's hospice. Your job will be to have wonderful, genuine passionate conversations with the general public to support the charity with a small regular donation, 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 either their weekly lottery or for a monthly Direct Debit donation.

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, we 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, our fundraisers come from all kinds of backgrounds including financial services, teaching, management, retail and many more. Most of our 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, driver's licence, appropriate insurance and MOT.

Who are The Fundraising Partnership? We are an ethical employer, who are committed to setting new standards and changing the face of face-to-face fundraising. We pride ourselves on putting the charity and their donors first and we realise that our company only succeeds when our fundraisers succeed. As such we respect, value and care for our employees. We only look to recruit quality, long-term donors when the charity benefits and as a by-product, we benefit. We are proud of our fundraisers.

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 we'll pay you for your travel. This role can offer you genuine work-life balance. When established in the role you can be flexible with the hours you work.

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. Autonomy to manage your own working day, yet support when you need it. We think supporting a good work-life balance for our staff is business-critical. Instead, we offer flexible local working and a culture that supports you maximising your life outside of work.

Demelza is an extraordinary charity. Demelza provides extraordinary care to children and young people with serious or life-limiting conditions, providing expert clinical care and helping to create extraordinary moments along the way. They are there when and where they are needed most, offering support and services as unique as every family, across Kent, South East London and East Sussex.

A typical fundraiser will raise more than £400,000 for the charity every year that they work for. So you would be doing a job where after 5 years of work, through your professionalism, integrity, and hard work you could raise more than £2 million for charities that deal, quite literally, in matters of life and death.
