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 the work we do, the values we have, and our fundraisers.

Job requirements and details

You will be ethical and take pride in doing a job the right way. You need interpersonal skills, to be a good listener and be able to communicate effectively; however, you don't need to be really persuasive or great at making speeches as this isn't a typical sales job. Most of all, you need to have real integrity and self-motivation. We employ good people, treat them well and trust our people to work to high standards. All types of people from all sorts of backgrounds can be successful at this job. It is a salaried 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.

We work on behalf of a great cause. Macmillan Cancer Support are the leading charity dedicated to supporting people affected by cancer. They do whatever it takes to help more people with cancer get the best care, whoever and wherever they are. Macmillan Cancer Support provide practical, emotional, and financial help, from expert nurses on our Support Line to guidance on treatment, work, and money worries. Macmillan also works to improve cancer care by providing support nationally, partnering with the NHS and campaigning for better services. Funds raised provide a range of support services and trusted information to improve the lives of people living with cancer.

How you can make a difference

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. There are many other benefits to this role. This role can offer you genuine work-life balance. 3 / 4 / 5 day roles available (21 - 35 hours per week). When successful in the role, you can be flexible with the hours you work. Compress your hours over 2 weeks to get blocks of days off. Work close to home. 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. Mileage paid.
