You'll be approaching members of the public and engaging them in important, inspiring conversations about the vital work that MSF do around the globe. Ultimately, you'll be asking people to become regular sponsors of the charity, which involves signing someone up to a Direct Debit donation. This requires confidence, sensitivity and passion.

• Full training provided - no previous experience necessary, just a passion for their work.
• Opportunities for progession - grow your career with MSF
• Work in a fun, vibrant and sociable team - join the MSF softball team and attend regular socials.

We're looking for people who have confident communication skills and a genuine passion for working as a fundraiser for MSF.

We're open to hearing from graduates and gap year students, and people who are looking for a fresh new career in the charity sector.

CASE STUDY
"I started my career as a Face to Face fundraiser, I took to it quickly even though I had no experience. I quickly became a Team Leader where I was given a team to coach and support. My pay increased and my interest in a career in fundraising grew. My network of contacts quickly grew and I heard of a marketing and communications role at Oxfam. I applied and got the job. I oversaw a large budget and managed a number of national fundraising campaigns including TV appeal for the charity. If I didn't jump at the chance to fundraise, I wouldn't be where I am now. The fundraising network is tightly linked, progression is inevitable. If you genuinely want to make a difference to vulnerable people then become a Fundraiser You don't know where it will take it but it will push you further towards your goal."

Interviews taking place on November 25th, starting on November 28th with a further intake in January.
