We have designed the earnings “package” around the idea that most of the people doing this job are likely to be motivated by one or more of the following:

• The requirement to develop another source of income to supplement income from other part-time jobs or savings/pension.
• A strong desire to promote the charity’s cause and the personal satisfaction to be gained from this.
• The need to gain experience of “public engagement” and/or fundraising to be able to advance a career in the Conservation or other charity sectors.
• The ambition to do something worthwhile or to put “something back into society”.

During a Trial period, earnings are guaranteed minimum of £6.10 per hour + performance bonus 

The Trial Period (typically 2 weeks) will reveal to us and you, whether you have the “special talent” to make a success of the project. People who possess the “special talent” are unlikely to be aware of it, until they try the job. People who possess the “special talent” may earn significantly more than the averages quoted below.

On successful completion of the Trial Period you can then choose to be paid:

EITHER:

SCHEME 1: Hourly rate + a bonus for each completed Direct Debit donation form.

Typical Likely Earnings: A Promoter who chooses to work on SCHEME 1, who works diligently for 20 hours per week (5 four hour sessions) during weekday evenings/weekend afternoons and is averagely successful in recruiting donors( 5 a week), could earn on average £658 a month (£528 basic + bonuses). On SCHEME 1, the job would normally be paid on a PAYE basis. Monthly earnings could be more or less than the average quoted here, but would never be less than the equivalent of £6.10 per hour.

OR:

SCHEME 2: By commission only, preferably on a self-employed basis. This is the scheme preferred by most of our Promoters.

Typical Likely Earnings: A Promoter who chooses to work on SCHEME 2, who works diligently around 20 hours per week (5 four hour sessions) during evenings/weekends and is averagely successful in recruiting donors (5 per week) could earn in commission on average £780 a month. Earnings could be more or less than the average quoted here.

In Summary:

SCHEME 1

·      offers the "safety net" of the guaranteed hourly rate, but much less potential for higher earnings.

SCHEME 2

·      offers much higher potential earnings, but without the "safety net" of the guaranteed hourly rate.

But mainly under SCHEME 2

·      you’ll appreciate the flexibility that self-employment gives - e.g. you can set your own hours, you can take time off whenever you want and can organize your work around your other activities / commitments.

After the Trial Period, you’ll be able to see which scheme would suit you best. Whichever scheme you choose, your earnings after the Trial period are paid monthly in arrears.
