Door to Door Sales Executive

We're looking for people with a great personality, a positive attitude and a strong work ethic!

About Us

We're an award-winning charity fundraising agency with nearly 30 years' experience, that delivers fundraising and awareness campaigns for some of the UK's most well-known charities such as Dogs Trust, Guide Dogs and Breast Cancer Now.

Our passion for fundraising continues to grow and we raise over £40m for our charity partners each year.

Our door-to-door Fundraisers are employed by Charity Link on permanent contracts, fulltime or part-time. Door to door fundraising takes place in pre-allocated areas by postcode, visiting specific streets and houses. This works well for people who prefer to work outside and prefer a quieter pace. You'll cover about 1 mile an hour and will be on your feet for your whole shift so we recommend comfortable shoes! Charity-branded uniform is provided as well as an electric tablet to sign up donors. Core hours are 11am-7pm. Its particularly important that you can work the twilight hours (5-7pm) when most people are at home.

You will be the public face of one of our charities, interacting with the public and seeking their support by way of regular monthly direct debit donations or lottery sign-ups. This role really does make a difference to people's lives!

Life as a charity fundraiser is an exciting one, full of challenges and even more rewards. No two days are the same and you'll meet and connect with some of the best kinds of people.

If you're confident, optimistic, resilient and love talking to people, this could be your calling!
