Canada's largest Animal protection group seeking public awareness agents

The Society for the Protection of Animals (SPA) Canada is currently looking to recruit public awareness agents for the downtown Montreal territory.

What is a public awareness agent's role?

Public awareness agents increase public awareness of various issues concerning the defence of animals, obtain signatures on petitions aiming to focus attention on these same issues, and gather donations on behalf of the organization. One of their key roles is to educate the population with regard to the abuse of domestic animals and the exploitation of animals in various industries: agriculture, science, clothing and entertainment. Agents also increase public awareness as to the importance of changing Canada's laws in order to ensure that animals are better protected against abuse.

Are you sociable, honest, enthusiastic, a good communicator, discerning, motivated and compelling? If so, you're just the type of candidate SPA Canada is looking for! Seize this great career opportunity and apply now!

Agents must also be well put together and have a professional and positive attitude. Bilingual candidates with experience in this field or in a sales capacity, or who are vegetarian, are of particular interest.

MANDATORY WORK

EXPERIENCE as a Public awareness agent or as a monthly donor recruiter/canvasser for a Non-Profit Organization or in direct-sales.

There are currently a number of full- and part-time positions available. The hours of work are from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Hourly rate: between 14$ and 20$ an hour.
