Legacy Officer

We have an exciting opportunity for a Legacy Officer to join our Legacies team. This is an ideal role for someone looking to gain more experience in fundraising or marketing, and at the same time, helping to make a difference to our communities when time matters most. Gifts in Wills help fund over 1/3 of our vital care. This role supports the delivery of our Hospice's overall legacy strategy. You will help build internal awareness around the importance of Gifts in Wills, collaborating across teams to support and increased engagement amongst key audiences to drive consideration and action by our supporters. You will support the Legacy team to implement our annual legacy operational plan. Key areas of focus include lead generation; conversion and stewardship of those generous supporters who have already decided to support the Hospice with a gift in their Will. Ensuring all legacy gifts left to the Hospice are managed in a sensitive, timely and professional way., Please note we're not responsible for the content of job ads, as they're posted by the recruiter. We'll aim to resolve the reported issue and we'll use your feedback to improve the quality of our ads.

Empathy and listening skills come naturally to you. You will be pro-active and have good attention to detail, excellent communication skills, as well as some working knowledge of databases. You will be comfortable engaging with the public, handling enquiries, and keeping supporters informed and inspired. You will be motivated to use your creative skills to develop campaigns and activities to help build relationships and keep people engaged and updated on how their support makes an impact. You may have previous experience working in a fundraising environment, in relationship management/direct marketing or in a customer service related environment. Previous experience of legacy giving is not essential. If you are a friendly team-orientated person who shares our values, and you're looking for a new role in a supportive and inclusive environment, we'd love to hear from you!
