You don't need previous legacy fundraising experience. You could come from customer service, account management, telesales, supporter care, fundraising or another relationship-focused role. What's important is that you're confident speaking with people, motivated by achieving results and excited by the opportunity to work for a charity.

You'll build relationships with existing supporters, helping them understand the difference they can make through their ongoing support and the possibility of leaving a gift in their Will. You'll manage your own portfolio of supporters, developing relationships from initial conversations through to longer-term engagement.

You'll also be organised, comfortable using a CRM or database and able to manage your workload with minimal supervision.

Experience could come from customer service, account management, telesales, fundraising, supporter engagement or relationship management – previous charity or legacy experience isn't essential.

About the organisation

You'll be joining an established international charity working to improve the lives of vulnerable children, families and communities around the world.

This is an opportunity to take the relationship-building skills you've developed elsewhere and use them for something with real purpose – helping supporters understand the lasting difference their generosity can make.
