Do you have a passion for nature, wildlife, and conservation?

Want to help protect the environment and make a real impact?

Join our team as a Membership Recruiter and help raise awareness and funds for the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Northamptonshire Wildlife Trust. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic, passionate team that inspires people to support vital conservation efforts.

As a Membership Recruiter, you'll be working across pre-booked venues, shows, and events within the three counties. Your role will involve engaging with members of the public, talking to them about the important work of the Wildlife Trust, and encouraging them to become long-term supporters through membership sign-ups.

Typically, you will be working 8 hours per day, in different locations throughout the counties.  Information of location is given by rota on a Friday for the following week.

We operate fully remotely, but you're never working alone. Our team leaders, lead fundraisers, and managing director stay in regular contact to ensure you feel supported, especially during your first year. We believe in open communication, collaboration, and sharing best practices to help everyone succeed. Even though we don't see each other in person often, you'll feel like a valued member of the CF Family, where mutual support is at the heart of what we do.
