Alzheimer’s Society’s sector-leading Gifts in Wills team are looking for a Fundraising Officer (Gifts in Wills) who can hit the ground running and take care of our supporters in Northern Ireland.

We need you to be a big thinker, curious, and compassionate; to be brave and committed to making a better world for people living with Dementia.

What can you expect?

The opportunity to make a difference: You will join our Regional Gifts in Wills team to help deliver over a third of all income that the Alzheimer’s Society receives each year. You will not be tied to a financial target – our focus is on developing incredible and long-lasting relationships with our supporters through exquisite stewardship, as well as hosting and delivering three supporter facing events per year. Success in your role will enable our colleagues to campaign for change, fund research to find a cure, and support people living with dementia today. That really is making a difference!

Be prepared to be your own boss: This is a home working role; you absolutely must be a self-starter and incredibly motivated. Look forward to an engaging, mentally stimulating, and diverse environment where you will need to be available, resourceful, and inspiring every day to give your supporters the best possible confidence in us as the right charity for them to leave a gift in their Will to. Exceptional organisation and timekeeping are a must and flexible working is welcome.

No two conversations will ever be the same: You will need to be an excellent communicator and confident in talking to supporters over the phone and in person. Virtual and in person presentations to supporters and other teams in the Society are a regular occurrence; we will teach you what to say but confidence in presenting is required. You will be the face of the Alzheimer’s Society for dedicated supporters in your region: you will be their guide through the Will-writing process, the person they put their trust in, and their sounding board. Being a people person goes without saying.

A fabulous team to support you: Our team come from all backgrounds and have a wealth of experience and skill to support you. We have scientists and teachers who chose a job change working alongside experienced fundraisers, to name a few! Previous experience as a fundraiser is not essential, although obviously it will help enormously. What is essential is the need to be a team player who will support colleagues during busy periods and who knows when to ask for help themselves. In our team, help will always be there. We work in a ‘win-lose-learn’ culture, where we learn fast but accept that within a creative, innovative, and successful environment, things will sometimes go wrong, but that we will be better from them. Every day is a learning day.
Dedicated to your development: At the Alzheimer’s Society, we are here to support you in your learning and growth. We make continuing professional development a priority through training days and conferences, as well as giving you the opportunity to lead on your own projects to gain experience. Whilst it would be great if you have experience managing projects, we can teach you to do that if you haven’t. What you do need is the ability to be proactive and to inspire and motivate others.

About the PKD Charity

Founded in 2000, we’re the first and only UK charity solely dedicated to improving the lives of an estimated 70,000 individuals and their families affected by polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in the UK.

PKD is a range of life-threatening inherited conditions that can cause kidney failure and affect other organs in the body such as the liver, brain, heart and bowels. Most people with PKD live with an uncertain prognosis, intermittent pain and infections, and then have to undergo life-saving dialysis or transplant in their 50s. A few babies have a rare form of PKD which results in death during pregnancy or shortly after birth; the surviving children often have to have either a kidney or liver transplant before the age of 10.

We provide reliable, accredited information, advice and personalised support. We raise awareness of the burden of PKD, both clinical and psychosocial. We fund research aimed at understanding more about PKD and the discovery of therapies that will improve quality and longevity of life.
