Once you apply with your CV and covering letter, our Recruitment team will review your application and pass it to your local Team Leader. From there, you’ll be contacted directly for a phone or video chat, followed by an informal interview. Our inductions are held weekly, so if you are successful at interview you could start as early as the following week!

As a Membership Recruiter, you’ll be assigned to pre-arranged venues and events by our Venue Coordination team. Your day will begin with travelling to the location, bringing along your full recruiter kit. Once there, you'll set up an eye-catching and engaging stand to help draw people in.

The core of your role will be speaking with members of the public, sharing the work of the local Wildlife Trust, and inspiring them to support our mission by signing up for a monthly direct debit donation. At the end of your shift, you’ll pack down your kit and take it home, ready for your next event.

This is a varied and rewarding role that takes you to different locations each day—perfect for someone who enjoys meeting new people, being out and about, and making a real difference for nature.

While previous experience in professional fundraising, sales, or customer-facing roles can be an advantage, it’s not essential. What we’re really looking for are vibrant, engaging individuals who are confident speaking to a wide range of people.

Full training will be provided—so what matters most is your passion for nature, strong communication skills, and the ability to connect with others in a friendly and authentic way.

Yes, the Membership Recruiter position is a permanent, part-time role. You'll be employed directly by us, working 3 days per week (18 hours total) at a range of venues arranged by our dedicated Venue Coordination team.

Weekend and bank holiday availability is essential, as these are typically our busiest and most successful days for member sign-ups!

This is a field-based role, so travel is a key part of the job. You’ll be working at a range of venues across your home county, as well as neighbouring counties where we operate. Currently, we work in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire & Oxfordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Leicestershire & Rutland, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Warwickshire.

Our Venue Coordination Team will usually assign you to venues within an hour’s travel from your home address, although this can vary depending on many factors such as where you live and the availability of venues and events in your area

This role offers uncapped commission with excellent earning potential—our top performers earn over £40 per hour. During your first 60 days, you’ll receive a guaranteed minimum of £15.00 per hour. After that, a safety net of £12.50 per hour remains in place to provide stability, though average earnings typically sit around £17 per hour (equivalent to approximately £32,000 full-time). In addition, we offer a quarterly bonus scheme to reward consistent performance and results.

Yes! We pay a travel contribution of 35p per mile for every mile you travel between your home and your assigned venue / event.

You won’t work every weekend day, but weekend availability is essential. Saturday and Sunday are peak times for footfall at venues, and they’re your best opportunities to connect with potential supporters and boost your earnings.

From day one, you’ll receive comprehensive, paid training to set you up for success. This begins with a 4-day induction: the first day is completed online, followed by a day at our head office. You’ll then spend two days in the field, shadowing an experienced Team Leader or recruiter. Beyond your induction, you'll have access to our online Training Hub, ongoing coaching, and dedicated support from your Team Leader throughout your time with us.

Absolutely! We’re proud to support internal progression, and many of our current Team Leaders and long-standing staff began their careers as Membership Recruiters. As you grow in confidence and consistently perform well, there may be opportunities to move into mentoring, training, or leadership roles within the team.

We’ll provide everything you need to succeed, including:

·       Charity-branded uniform

·       Gazebo and display materials

·       Electronic tablet for sign-ups

·       Leaflets and info packs

While a passion for nature is important, you don’t need to be an expert. We’ll give you all the training and resources you need to confidently talk about the work of the Wildlife Trusts and how our members make a real difference for wildlife and wild places.

It is an essential requirement for our Membership Recruiters to have a valid UK driving licence and access to a vehicle for work purposes. Our Membership Recruiters work at various events and venues, some an hour or more away from their home addresses. In addition, they are required to transport their recruiter kit and equipment with them to and from each venue/event. The recruiter kit consists of large/heavy items such as a gazebo, table, display boards and other items. This role is therefore not compatible with public transport.
