Fundraiser - Letchworth Garden City

August 14, 2026

RSPB is seeking a Fundraiser in Letchworth Garden City, UK, to promote nature conservation and secure memberships. The role requires travel within the local area using a company van and engaging with the public. Candidates should have a passion for conservation and be willing to work outdoors. The position offers a flexible contract, a set salary, and comprehensive training, with an emphasis on work-life balance and inclusivity. Are you looking for an exciting opportunity that allows you to integrate your passion for nature with your exceptional communication skills? Join us at Europe's largest nature conservation charity and make a real difference as a Fundraiser! The ideal candidate will be based in the advertised location. Please only apply to this vacancy if you are based within a 10 mile radius of the advertised location, unless you are in the process of relocating. About the role 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. 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. What's even better? 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.’ ‘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. If you're ready to embark on an exciting journey with us and help create a world richer in nature, apply now! You will be asked to upload your CV and complete a short online application form once you select 'apply'. We are looking for starters to join our team across the next few months.
