Legacy Fundraiser

Are you hard-working, talented and want your job to contribute to sharing God’s kingdom and alleviating suffering? Do you enjoy taking initiative and applying your relational skills to new areas? Would you like to grow professionally and be part of a team working together towards ambitious targets?

We’re looking for a Legacy Fundraiser to contribute to BMS’ fundraising strategy and goals through the development and day-to-day management of BMS’ legacy and in-memory programme, leading on creative and innovative legacy events and products, carefully stewarding legacy pledgers and intenders, and embracing a culture of outstanding supporter care. You will also work closely with our Legacy Officer who is taking care of processing legacies.

You’ll need to work hard and learn fast to pick up all the technical and fundraising skills that this job requires. But you’ll have the full support of a friendly, encouraging, and collaborative team helping you to succeed. And this is much more than just a legacy role! As a champion of supporter care, you’ll also be very relational, enjoying talking to and meeting our amazing supporters and ensuring that every interaction they have with BMS is inspiring and uplifting.

This is a professional development role. If you have no legacy fundraising qualifications or experience, you will be trained to gain the Certificate in Legacy Fundraising from the Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy worth £1,300. If you already have experience in legacy fundraising, we will discuss with you whether this or other training courses might be more suitable for you. Either way, we want you to grow personally and professionally in this role. As well as the course being funded by BMS, study leave will be given in addition to your annual leave allowance.

Talent, potential and attitude are just as important to us as qualifications and experience. If you already have experience and expertise in legacy fundraising, please don’t hesitate to apply and we can negotiate the salary band with you.

The successful applicant will be a committed Christian. The nature of this role means that this is a specific occupational requirement.

Location : Didcot, Oxfordshire and/or remote working, some UK travels

Hours : 17.5 hrs per week/part-time

Salary range : £24,490 - £29,058 pro rata (negotiable with existent legacy experience)

Closing date : 9 am, Tuesday, 16 August 2022

Interview date :             W/C 22 Aug 2022 (TBC)
