Use your door-to-door skills for something that matters

If you’ve done door-to-door sales, you’ve already got what we need: confidence, great chat, and the ability to turn a quick conversation into action.

The difference? You’re asking people to do something that will make a positive difference to their city and local community. It’s no hard sell!

• Recruit volunteers on the doorstep (your main focus), and by phone
• Turn interest into action: sign people up as leaflet deliverers, admin helpers and members.
• Onboard and support new volunteers with clear next steps, training and resources.
• Keep accurate records using our online database so we stay in touch and keep people active.
• Be a positive, reliable part of a close, hard-working campaign team.
   

You’ll be great at this if you:

• Are a motivated self-starter who enjoys working independently and hitting clear targets.
• Have excellent face-to-face communication skills and enjoy meeting people.
• Are comfortable with doorstep conversations and public engagement.
• Are organised, with good attention to detail.
• Can use everyday IT tools (email, spreadsheets, databases).
• Are supportive of Liberal Democrat values and want to make a difference locally.
• Driving licence and access to a car would be beneficial.

The offer

• £25,500 salary (pro rata if part-time)
