Our venues fundraisers typically work between 10am and 6pm and are usually employed on a 40 hour per week contract working 5 days per week, including alternate Saturdays. Our venues are often busiest first thing in the morning, over lunchtime and later in the afternoon, so our Fundraisers must be flexible in the hours they work and demonstrate commitment to reaching their donor targets each week.

All our fundraisers are on permanent employment contracts, providing the security of regular income as well as amazing benefits including health cash plan, death in service plan, shopping discounts and a personal pension! Our fundraisers are paid a basic wage, plus discretionary bonuses, which relate to the number and quality of donors they achieve.

All uniform, equipment and materials are provided - including an electronic tablet to take donations. Fundraisers are entitled to 28 days holiday which includes bank holiday allowance. Accommodation will be provided if staying away (if the venue is over 75 miles from home) plus a contribution towards travel expenses.
