Individual Giving Legacy Fundraiser 

£31,906 pa (FTE)

Use your creativity, drive and relationship-building skills to grow income that helps Bluebell Wood be there for every baby, child and young person who needs us.

Join us as our Individual Giving & Legacy Fundraiser and be part of a team that is building something special -growing sustainable income, striving for excellence, and delivering results that make a real difference.

This is a role for someone who wants to take ownership, see results, and be part of a team working together to achieve more — more support, more reach, more impact.

We’re ambitious, collaborative and always looking for better ways to connect with supporters. We test, learn, improve and deliver because the income we generate is what enables us to provide vital care.

Your work will help drive the income that ensures every family can access the care they need, when and where they need it.

About us:
At Bluebell Wood, our vision is for every baby, child and young person with a life-limiting condition to access specialist palliative care, wherever and whenever they need it. Every role here plays a part in making that happen.
Our support is wide-ranging and tailored to every family. From symptom management and short breaks to counselling, sibling support, music therapy, home visits and end-of-life care, we provide expert care when and where it matters most.
We support families across South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire, North Derbyshire and parts of North Lincolnshire. To keep our doors open, we need to raise £6.7m every year — with only around 17% of our income coming from government sources. That’s why this role matters.

The role:
In this role, you’ll lead the development of individual giving and legacy income — attracting new supporters, deepening relationships, building strong pipelines and creating journeys that grow long-term value and loyalty.
Using data, insight and creativity, you’ll shape and deliver campaigns, strengthen regular giving and build awareness of legacy giving in ways that feel personal, relevant and impactful - driving the income that ensures more children and families can access the care they need.

• Respond to supporter enquiries via mail, email, and phone, providing excellent customer service.
• Work positively and proactively with our volunteer supporters.
• Manage relationships with external consultants for Trusts & Grants and Legacy fundraising, oversee canvassing agents and ensuring all activity aligns with the hospice’s fundraising strategy and values.

What you’ll bring

• Experience in individual giving, legacy fundraising, donor development or a similar supporter-focused fundraising role.
• A creative approach to campaigns, communications and supporter journeys.
• Confidence using insight, data and performance measures to improve results and grow income.
• Strong relationship-building skills and a positive, proactive approach to supporter engagement.
• Experience of working with agencies, suppliers or external partners to deliver high-quality activity.
• A values-led mindset, with the initiative to take ownership, work collaboratively and make things happen.

Why join Bluebell Wood?

• Your work will directly help children and families access expert care and support.
• You’ll have the freedom to bring ideas to life in a creative, collaborative and purpose-driven team.
• You’ll be part of a values-led organisation where individuality is welcomed and development is encouraged.
