Every Campaign Coach also helps to shape the future of our business, their expertise helping to generate fresh ideas and to continuously improve the way that we work.

The role of Campaign Coach is the first level on the Wesser campaign management team. A successful person can be promoted to this position after one year’s full service and experience with Wesser. A Campaign Coach is responsible for three teams and up to twenty fundraisers. Our Campaign Coaches need to have a lot of energy and must be prepared to take a lead role in the company.

Senior Team Leaders at Wesser are responsible for either one or two teams that are both in close geographical proximity. A Senior Team Leader is directly accountable and coordinates team activities closely with the Campaign Manger. Our Senior Team Leaders need to be gregarious and determined providing their fundraisers with the necessary ongoing training, support and development. A Senior Team Leader is often appointed within six to twelve months work experience with Wesser.

Our Team Leaders spend 90% of their time raising funds door to door; the ability to lead by example is pivotal to the results of the team as a whole. Fundraisers can apply to become a Team Leader after just twelve weeks work experience with Wesser.

Fundraisers work together in teams of four to eight people, all working door to door promoting the services that St John Ambulance provide and signing up members of the public to make annual donations to the charity.
