Earn extra cash as a telephone caller on the OU’s fundraising campaign

Are you looking to earn some extra money?

Following three hugely successful telephone campaigns in 2012 – raising more than £250,000 in pledged donations, the Development Office is looking to recruit even more telephone callers to take part in the fundraising campaigns which will run for four weeks in April and July of this year.

Based at the Walton Hall campus in Milton Keynes, successful candidates can expect to earn £7.87 per hour, whilst knowing that the work they are doing will have a direct impact on the lives of future students.

What does it involve?

As a caller, you’ll be holding telephone conversations with OU graduates (during evenings and weekends), talking to them about the OU's mission of providing education for all, updating their details and asking them to make a donation to our fundraising projects. There will be no cold calling – we’re contacting all our graduates in advance about the campaign, and they can opt out of receiving a phone call if they prefer. Hear more about what being a caller is like from Marie Coles.
