Legacy and In Memoriam Adviser

Do you have the appetite to help change the face of legacy giving at the RSPB, working directly with some of our highest value supporters?

Legacies (gifts left to the RSPB in supporters' Wills) contributed around £36m to the RSPB last year - that's nearly a third of our net income. Along with our in memoriam giving income (gifts given to the RSPB in memory of a loved one) we believe that this can grow exponentially. This is where you come in.
