What is the job?
Employed by The Fundraising Partnership, you would be a Fundraiser representing and generating donations on behalf of the Stroke Association. Your job will be to have wonderful, genuine passionate conversations with the general public to support The Stroke Association with a small regular donation. 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 to work as a charity fundraiser within major retail stores 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. Who are The Fundraising Partnership? We are an ethical employer, who are committed to setting new standards and changing the face of face-to-face fundraising. We pride ourselves on putting the charity and their donors first and we realise that our company only succeeds when our fundraisers succeed. As such we respect, value and care for our employees. We only look to recruit recruiting quality, long term donors when the charity benefits and as a by-product, we benefit. We are proud of the work we do. We are proud of the values we have. We are proud of our fundraisers. 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. It is a salaried role, enhanced by a commission with full-time and part-time options. You will need to have a car but will typically be working within 30 minutes of your home, and we’ll pay your for your travel. We work on behalf of a great cause Strokes are devastating and affect people of all ages suddenly and without warning. The statistics are alarming. Someone in the UK has a stroke every 5 minutes, that is 100,000 people per year and that includes 400 babies and children. It is the 4th biggest cause of death in the UK.1 in 8 stroke victims die within 1 month of their stroke. What these numbers don't convey is how a stroke completely changes lives without any warning and also completely changes the lives of the families of the victim too - taking the loved one as they once knew them away from them, thrusting people into the role of carer and leaving them with the emotional challenges of such a sudden and traumatic life change. Whilst the number of strokes is increasing the survival rate, medical care and after-stroke care is getting better year after year thanks to the work of the Stroke Association and our supporters. We provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives. Examples of our impact include: Find out more about the Stroke Association here: https://www.thefundraisingpartnership.co.uk/stroke-association How you can make a difference A typical fundraiser will raise more than £400,000 for the charity every year that they work for. So you would be doing a job where after 5 years of work, through your professionalism, integrity, and hard work you could raise more than £2 million for charities that deal, quite literally, in matters of life and death.
