Telephone Fundraiser Job Description

9th April 8th May 2016

Bangor University Development and Alumni Relations Office are looking to appoint a team of students
as callers for its forthcoming telephone campaign. (2nd and 3rd years preferred)
Whilst no former experience of telephone fundraising is required, a positive and enthusiastic approach
is essential. FEAR NOT! The vast majority of calls are enjoyable and the alumni will be pleased to
speak to you. Full training will be provided on Saturday 9th April and is compulsory but you do get paid!
The aim, by the end, is to provide you with everything you need to know about telephone fundraising.
The calling is undertaken between 6 9.00pm Monday to Thursday and 4- 7pm on Sundays. You will
be expected to work at least three shifts per week between 11th April and 8th May, but there is
flexibility and you can schedule your time to suit yourself.
The team appointed should demonstrate an understanding of the bilingual nature of the University. We
are looking for individuals in the team to demonstrate good written and spoken English skills and for
some of the team to demonstrate good written and spoken Welsh skills.
You will be paid 7.85 per hour. However, it is not just about the opportunity to earn extra money to
help support your studies. Those who have called for their university have found it a valuable addition
to their CV and it has helped to set them apart from others in the job market. There are some valuable
skills to be learnt such as negotiation, diplomacy, communication in a business environment and last,
but not least, the gentle art of persuasion!
Comments from previous callers:
a fantastic opportunity to develop my negotiation skills very useful preparation for my career as a
barrister!
The training was simply excellent, I was quite nervous at the thought of telephoning so many people
but by the end of the sessions I felt ready for almost anything
Great for my CV, friendly atmosphere, new friends and earning money too!
If I enjoy my next part-time job half as much as this one, Ill be happy!
