111 Charity / Voluntary jobs in Accrington, Lancashire

Each day you will use your company van to travel to different venues around your local area, set up an attractive fundraising stand, and spend the day actively engaging with members of the public, spreading awareness about our conservation efforts and generating new RSPB memberships via direct debits.

'Securing a membership is always a great feeling that stays with you. Being able to talk about things you are passionate about and learn a lot about wildlife is a real plus.' 'Fun, challenging, requires resilience, great colleagues.' But it's not just about the benefits - it's about the impact you'll make. Join a team that's dedicated to preserving nature and inspiring others to do the same. Your role will be pivotal in driving positive change, and you'll have the support of a diverse and inclusive community every step of the way. What we need from you:

• A passion for conservation (no prior knowledge required);
• Resilience
• Ability to work to targets;
• A driver's licence valid for use in the UK;
• Happy to work 3 out of 4 weekends;
• Happy to travel (on average) an hour away from home each day;
• Willingness to work outdoors and independently;
• Fundraising/Sales and Customer Service experience (desirable).
Whether you're from a hospitality, customer service, sales, or volunteering background, we're more interested in your negotiating/storytelling skills and enthusiasm than your previous experience.
