What You'll Be Doing
As a Sales Assistant, you'll represent well-known charity campaigns directly within residential communities and local neighbourhoods throughout Manchester and the surrounding areas. This is a customer-facing role where you'll raise awareness of each charity's cause, build relationships with residents, and support them through the decision to give. You'll learn how to communicate a charity's mission confidently, handle questions and objections, and create positive experiences that lead to new and ongoing donations.
