Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.

We are working hard to ensure our recruitment process is as inclusive as possible, so please do inform us of your experience and anything you think we could do better by completing our candidate survey when you apply.  

To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.

About The Role
Legacy giving sits at the heart of long term impact, and this role is about shaping how thousands of supporters choose to leave that lasting mark. As a Legacy Marketing Officer, you’ll help design and deliver thoughtful, insight led supporter journeys that feel personal, meaningful and well timed, even at scale. From first interest through to long term engagement, your work will ensure supporters feel informed, valued and connected to the difference they can make. It’s a role that blends creativity with structure, where strong ideas are brought to life through well planned campaigns that genuinely resonate.
Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.
You’ll be working across a busy, collaborative fundraising environment where no two days look the same. A key part of your work will be turning strategy into action building campaigns, shaping messaging with agency partners, and making sure everything is delivered on time, on budget, and to a high standard. You’ll use insight and performance data to understand what’s working, what isn’t, and where there’s opportunity to improve, always looking to refine journeys so they perform better for supporters and for income growth. Just as importantly, you’ll help ensure in-memory giving is handled with care, sensitivity and clarity, supporting some of the most important moments in a supporter’s relationship with us.
This is a role for someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity and building strong relationships across a wide range of stakeholders. You’ll work closely with colleagues across legacy administration, data, fundraising teams and external partners to keep everything aligned and moving in the same direction. There’s plenty of room to develop here too whether that’s deepening your understanding of legacy marketing, strengthening your campaign delivery skills, or building confidence in using insight to shape decisions. If you’re motivated by purposeful work, enjoy delivering campaigns that genuinely matter, and want to be part of a team building something long-term and meaningful, this is a space where you can make a real impact.
Fundraising sits at the heart of The Royal British Legion’s 10-year strategy, and we’re investing in the people, skills and ideas that will drive growth and strengthen our support for the Armed Forces community. As one of the UK’s most trusted and recognisable charities, we have the reach and ambition to make a real difference, and this is your chance to be part of it. Our Fundraising portfolio is broad and dynamic, spanning major corporate partnerships to our sector leading charity Lottery. We’re investing in growth, evolving how we work, and putting supporters at the centre of everything we do. This is an exciting time to join us. You’ll be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team, helping shape the future of our fundraising and the impact we achieve together.
If you are applying for multiple Fundraising roles at the same ‘Officer’ or ‘Manager’ title, you are welcome to use the same supporting statement across applications. However, we would encourage tailoring your statement where possible, particularly if applying for roles across different teams or titles.
You will be contracted to our Haig House hub with a minimum expectation of two days per week working in person at the hub and flexibility for working remotely/at home when not on site.
Employee benefits include -

- 28 day’s paid holiday (plus bank holidays) increasing with service, with optional annual leave purchase scheme of up to 5 working days
- Enhanced paid maternity, paternity and adoption leave
- Generous pension contributions, with Employer contributions ranging from 6% to 10%
