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.
The Private Site Fundraising Role
Our Private Site fundraisers are employed by Charity Link on permanent contracts, fulltime or part-time and enjoy a base rate, meaning you'll always know a minimum income with plenty of potential to earn more.
This role really does make a difference to people's lives!
You'll be the public face of our charity partners with a mission to interact with the public and get their support in the form of regular monthly direct debit donations or lottery sign ups.
Private Site fundraising takes place at a vast array of shows, events, superstores and smaller stores, town centres, shopping centres and even train stations. These venues are pre-booked for you by our in-house venues team, whose focus is to give you the very best chance of securing as many donors as possible during your shift.
The working day itself will vary according to the venues you work and you should aim to be there when footfall is at its maximum. That means you'll need to be flexible as to what hours you work, the evening being a particularly good time to find potential donors.
Charity-branded clothing and equipment (stands, pull-ups, tables, gazebos etc) are provided as well as an electric tablet to sign up donors.

• A positive attitude and a strong work ethic. You're motivated to reach and surpass targets, working under your own initiative

• The willingness to work outside in all weather
• The desire to become a passionate advocate for the charity you represent
Employee Benefits

• 28 days annual leave with flexi holiday scheme
• Pension plan
• Healthcare plan worth up to £900 per annum
• Death in service plan, twice your annual salary
• Award winning training and on-going support
• Shopping discounts at over 30,000 retailers
• Generous referral scheme
• Long service awards - includes extra holiday, cash gifts and additional healthcare
• Regular incentives and discretionary bonus
• Career development opportunities
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!
What Happens Next
The hiring process has the following steps:
• CV application review - we aim to review your application as quickly as possible
• Let's talk - one of our team will contact you to discuss your experience and the role
• Virtual Interview - 1 hour video interview with one of our recruiters
• Fundraiser Experience - 1 hour in the field alongside an experienced private site fundraiser so you can see first-hand what the job entails and demonstrate an ability to open a conversation with a member of the public
Our Commitment to You
As our fundraisers engage with the public daily, we need to ensure we recruit the best people. This means those with the right skills, experience and background that support our ambitions.

UAV Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Platforms & Technologies to Learn Now

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are no longer just military assets—they're transforming agriculture, infrastructure inspection, logistics, filmmaking, and public safety. As commercial drone operations scale in the UK, the demand for skilled UAV professionals is rising sharply across engineering, flight operations, data analysis, and autonomous systems. Welcome to the UAV Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the tools, platforms, certifications, and technologies that are shaping UAV careers in the UK.

How to Find Hidden UAV Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like IMechE, RAeS & More

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are transforming industries in the UK—from surveying, inspection, and agriculture to emergency services, logistics, and defence. As the sector evolves, so too does the demand for skilled UAV professionals: pilots, systems engineers, data analysts, AI specialists, and regulatory experts. Yet many of the best UAV jobs—especially in R&D, government contracts, and specialist commercial operations—are never advertised publicly. They’re often filled through trusted networks, working group referrals, pilot programmes, and specialist community engagement. In this guide, you’ll discover how to access hidden UAV jobs in the UK by engaging with professional bodies like the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), APRIL (UK), and regional drone networks. You’ll learn how to use directories, CPD events, special interest groups (SIGs), and industry clusters to position yourself at the forefront of opportunity—before roles are even published.

How to Get a Better UAV Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

But with the growing adoption of UAVs in defence, surveying, logistics, agriculture, inspection, and emergency response, your skills remain in demand. Whether you're a drone pilot, UAV systems engineer, geospatial analyst, flight software developer, or mechanical integrator, this guide will help you bounce back stronger after redundancy.
