Alzheimer's Society give vital support to those who need it most, hold decisionmakers to account, and fund groundbreaking research to transform the future for everyone living with dementia. The Role The role is fundraising as a 3rd party agent, employed by The Fundraising Partnership, representing and fundraising on behalf of Alzheimer’s Society. Your job will be to find more people to support them with a small regular donation and you do this by either working as a face-to-face charity fundraiser within major retail stores or by talking to local people at their homes on behalf of Alzheimer’s Society and asking them to become a regular supporter.

So their fundraisers come from all kinds of backgrounds including financial services, teaching, management, retail and many more. Most of their best people are just great conversationalists who in day-to day life end up talking with people when walking the dog or in bus queues. Skills and Qualifications
