Student Telephone Fundraiser

This role is open to students at the University of Leeds in the next academic year 2025/2026 only. 

This role will be based on the University campus. 

Do you love Leeds and talking about your time here? Want to help current and future students make the most of their Leeds experience?

The Advancement Team are looking to recruit lively and enthusiastic students to work as telephone fundraisers in our call team. You’ll be part of a friendly, sociable team dedicated to ensuring all students can fully benefit during their time here, by securing gifts over the phone from our alumni and supporter community.

You’ll chat with graduates of all ages and backgrounds. The call campaigns are a great way to build positive relations with our alumni. 

It’s a chance for you to talk and share your experiences of student life, gain career advice and even gain insight in your area of interest.

Don’t worry – previous ambassador, fundraising or telephone experience are not essential. Much more important is an enthusiasm for the University and good listening and communication skills.

Our telephone fundraising campaigns run across all three terms in Autumn, Spring and Summer and in that time you’ll chat with graduates of all ages and backgrounds. The telephone campaigns are a great way to build positive relations with our alumni.
