Calling all Nature Lovers. It's time to get out there and make a real difference to the world we live in! Our Membership Fundraisers are our ambassadors, and each one plays a vital role in what we do. We are currently looking for enthusiastic people to join our growing Face to Face Membership Fundraising team in Northern Island, to help us in our mission of giving nature a home. 

Nature is in big trouble and we need your help! 
 
The UK is among the most nature-depleted countries in the world. We now have a moral obligation to save nature and this is a view shared by the millions of supporters of conservation organisations across the UK. From now until 2030 we have some ambitious plans and targets - working together with our community of members and partners to collectively change the fate of nature, building upon our land ownership to help give nature a home. 

About the RSPB 

The RSPB is the largest nature conservation charity in the UK, consistently delivering successful conservation, forging powerful new partnerships with other organisations, and inspiring others to stand up and give nature the home it deserves. Around a third of the RSPB's funding comes from memberships, which allow us to continue all of our fantastic work - protecting and restoring the wild places nature depends on. 
 
About the role: 
 
The role involves traveling around your local area, setting up a stand, and engaging with members of the public. Whilst your primary role would be to recruit new members, you are also there to inspire, educate, and enthuse the public with a real passion for nature. In return, we will offer a competitive, living wage, and working contracts to suit. This role would also benefit anyone who is looking to develop their sales and marketing skills and/or looking to develop a career in wildlife and conservation. 
 
Essential skills, knowledge and experience: 

• Enthusiasm and passion for saving nature; 
• Enjoy working outdoors - solo as well as part of a team; 
• A good story-teller and a confident communicator; 
• A resilience to rejection; 
• Experience in a customer-facing role; 
• Comfortable asking people for monthly donations; 
• A full, manual driving licence; 
• Access to the Microsoft Office suite at home; and 
• Willing to work 3 out of 4 weekends, as well as bank holidays.
