Current opportunities

Join our team and become a Collection Tin Co-ordinator in your local area. We will provide you with five collection tins and you then find locations for them in your area. This could be in shops, public houses, takeaways or petrol stations. You then check them and bank the money when the tills are full. An important role which helps raise the profile of the charity and raise funds to help find a cure for kidney disease. No previous experience necessary. All we need is your local knowledge and enthusiasm to place the tins in order to make as much money as we can. You will also need to check the tins are clean, visible and form a working relationship with a named contact at each location. Some administration work required. Work the hours you want to, no set hours per month. Be as busy as you want to be. Great and enjoyable opportunity to help make a difference.
