Land's End Benefits:
Pension, Life Assurance, 26 days annual leave Do you enjoy talking to people? Do you have great communication skills? Are you passionate about nature? The RSPB Land's End Discovery hut is one of the best places to fundraise in the UK. This area of West Cornwall is famous for the Cornish Chough, one of the RSPB's most inspiring success stories for the region. In addition to choughs, shags, fulmar, razorbills, and guillemots can be spotted on the coastal cliffs while gannets dive and tuna breach below. It's a front-row seat to see UK marine wildlife at its best. The successful candidate will ideally be located within an hour's drive of Land's End. Each day in this role, you will travel to local venues (mainly Land's End), set up an attractive fundraising stand, and spend the day actively engaging with members of the public. The aim is to inspire people to become lifelong members in this interesting and rewarding role. Don't worry if you're not a wildlife expert yet – we provide comprehensive training to equip you with all the knowledge you need. Plus, you'll enjoy the added perk of a company van, with fuel and parking costs paid for. You'll have the flexibility to choose a contract between 3 to 5 days per week and enjoy the stability of a set salary, rather than working on commission. With 34 days of annual leave (including bank holidays) and opportunities for sabbaticals, we value your work-life balance and well-being. What do current employees say about this role? ‘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.’ 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. If you're ready to embark on an exciting journey with us and help create a world richer in nature, apply now!
