Employed by The Fundraising Partnership, you would be a Fundraiser representing and generating donations on behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support. Your job will be to have wonderful, genuine passionate conversations with the general public to support Macmillan by either playing their lottery or setting up a regular monthly donation.

Depending on your experience and where you live in the UK, this can be within major retail stores or by talking to local people at their homes knocking door-to-door and asking them to become a regular supporter. If you decide you like the sound of this role, we’ll discuss the options available to you in your area when you contact us.

If we have private site availability, you will be pleased to know that due to our partnerships with outstanding companies that source bookings, you can expect to work in major supermarkets and other premium venues, including shows and events.

Who are we looking for?

You may have worked in sales previously, whether that is Avon, Energy Sales, Catalogue Sales, Direct Sales, Door-to-Door Sales, Field Sales, Broadband Sales or as a Brand Ambassador if this is the case, we would love to hear from you.

Or you might be brand new to this and simply looking for a job that gives back to your local community. Either way, our fundraisers come from all kinds of backgrounds including financial services, teaching, management, retail and many more. Most of our best people are just great conversationalists who in day-to-day life end up talking with people when walking the dog or in a queue.

Applicants must have permanent access to a vehicle, drivers licence, appropriate insurance and MOT.

Job requirements and details

You will be ethical and take pride in doing a job the right way. You need interpersonal skills, to be a good listener and be able to communicate effectively, however you don’t need to be really persuasive or great at making speeches as this isn’t a typical sales job.

Most of all you need to have real integrity and self-motivation. We employ good people, treat them well and we trust our people to work to high standards. All types of people from all sorts of backgrounds can be successful at this job.
