Before covid, you would have expected to be away from home for 15-17 weeks per year as our telethons traditionally take place on site at our clients’ institutions. As things currently stand, we are running most of our campaigns remotely with staff members managing the calling sessions from home or the office. It is difficult to predict the future, but you would need to expect a mix of remote and onsite telethons, so it would be good if you are happy with both of these aspects of the job role.
Away from telethons most of your training will need to take place in our friendly Bristol office where we have such benefits as flexible working hours and smart/casual dress. All of the preparation and wrap up work for your telethons would be office based tasks as well, and we are currently offering hybrid working. We are a sociable bunch will be delighted to have another herd member to join in with our lunches, drinks and other social occasions!
In return for your hard work Buffalo offers a starting salary of £20,000 which will increase to £22,000 following the successful completion of our four to six month training programme, with another rise to £25,500 the following year along with a £1,500 bonus pay-out after 6 telethons, and a further £3,500 bonus pay-out on completion of the scheme (12 telethons).
Our grad scheme benefits include a subsistence package worth over £1,000 a year, 20 days holiday plus the opportunity to earn on average an additional 24 lieu days for weekend working, flexible working hours, weekend travel bonus, workplace pension, cycle to work scheme and regular staff social events and charity fundraisers.
This is a fixed term two and a half year scheme, after which we will assist you with achieving your future career plans. You would be in a good position to apply for a senior role with Buffalo, should one be available at the time, as most of our senior positions are taken on by previous Campaign Officers.
