Fundraiser - Dungannon

Ready for a Role that’s Rewarding, Challenging - and Never Dull? Are you passionate about nature? Do you have the confidence to strike up conversations with strangers and inspire them to take action? If you're looking for a job that’s meaningful, dynamic, and gives you a story to tell every single day - this might be exactly what you’re looking for. Are you passionate about nature?

If that sounds like you, you might just have found your next role.

We’re recruiting RSPB Membership Fundraisers to work across Dungannon and the surrounding area, engaging and encouraging people to support nature by becoming RSPB members.

This is a people-facing role with real purpose, perfect for someone who enjoys talking to others and believes that small conversations can lead to big change.

Before applying for this role, we recommend reading through the recruitment pack which has further insight into this role along with FAQ's and our induction time-table.

About the role

This is not your average 9-5. No two days are the same!

Each day you’ll:

• Use your company van (with fuel and parking covered) to travel to venues in your area.
• Set up an eye-catching, informative table displays
• Engage with members of the public in conversations about wildlife, nature and conservation
• Inspire them to become RSPB members, being part of something bigger, through regular direct debit support.

You’ll be a visible, passionate ambassador for nature - often outdoors, often on your feet, and sometimes stepping outside your comfort zone. The role does require resilience and determination, as not every conversation will lead to a sign-up. But for people who care about nature and enjoy connecting with others, it’s a deeply rewarding role.

We’ll Set You Up for Success

You don’t need to be a wildlife expert - we’ll teach you that part.

We offer:

• A salary-based role (not commission-based) with income stability
• A company van for business use, with all expenses covered
• Full training and ongoing support
• 34 days annual leave (including bank holidays), plus sabbatical opportunities

What our Northern Ireland Team say:

“Securing a membership is always a great feeling that stays with you. Being able to talk about things you’re passionate about - and learn more about wildlife - is a real bonus.”

“The role is challenging and does require resilience, but it’s also great fun. The Northern Ireland team are brilliant to work with and we all share a passion for nature - that makes it worthwhile.”

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 are looking for

• A genuine passion people for and a belief in protecting nature
• Confidence speaking to strangers and working towards clear targets
• Resilience and a positive mindset when faced with rejection
• A full UK driving licence
• Availability to work 3 out of 4 weekends each month
• Willingness to travel up to one hour from home each way
• Comfortable working outdoors and often independently
• Experience in fundraising, sales, marketing, retail, hospitality or customer service (desirable but not essential)

Please note, you will be required to travel to our HQ in Sandy, Bedfordshire during your induction. For a full list of induction dates please refer to the recruitment pack. We will cover all associated costs for travel and accommodation. Full training and support will be provided.

Whether you’re from hospitality, retail, sales, or a volunteer background, if you have the drive to inspire and the heart for nature, we want to hear from you.

Why join us?

This role isn’t just about benefits - it’s about making a real difference in your own community. Every conversation you have helps protect habitats, wildlife and nature across Northern Ireland and beyond.

You’ll be supported by a friendly, inclusive team who care deeply about what they do - and about each other.
