About The Role

This is an opportunity to join our Individual Giving team as a Welcome Officer, supporting the first 12 months of a supporter’s journey with us. This is a single role within the Welcome function, which plays a critical part in how we shape early engagement and set the tone for long term relationships. You’ll help deliver structured, well planned communications that introduce supporters to RBL in a way that feels relevant, timely and consistent across all touchpoints, working within a wider journey-led approach across fundraising.

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.

Working closely with managers, planning teams, data colleagues and agency partners, you’ll help turn strategy and insight into clear, well executed welcome journeys. This is about more than onboarding communications, it’s about understanding early supporter behaviour, using data and performance insight to refine activity, and ensuring every interaction builds confidence, clarity and connection. You’ll support the planning, briefing and delivery of campaigns, making sure activity is coordinated, properly signed off, and aligned with wider acquisition and growth activity.

This role will suit someone who is organised, comfortable working at pace, and confident managing multiple deadlines and stakeholders. You’ll need to communicate clearly, keep delivery on track, and work within structured processes while still contributing to continuous improvement in how we engage new supporters. Most importantly, you’ll bring a practical, detail-focused approach, someone who can take planned welcome activity and deliver it effectively, helping to build strong foundations for long term supporter relationship

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.

About The Role

This is a role for someone who knows how to make campaigns land. As an Acquisition Officer in the TV team, you’ll be right at the point where creative ideas turn into real income planning and delivering mass fundraising activity that reaches new supporters and brings them into long-term journeys with the Royal British Legion. You’ll work across integrated TV led campaigns and connected response routes, making sure every piece of activity is joined up, well timed and built to perform in a competitive, fast moving fundraising environment.

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 hands-on with campaign delivery from day one working with managers, agencies and internal specialists to shape briefs, manage timelines, review results and refine activity based on what the data is telling you. This is a role where detail matters just as much as pace: getting segmentation right, making sure messaging is clear and consistent, and ensuring campaigns are set up properly so they can be measured, understood and improved. You’ll also be close to the numbers, tracking performance and helping to turn insight into practical next steps that improve future activity.

We’re looking for someone who’s already comfortable working in a fundraising or marketing environment where there’s real pressure to deliver. You’ll need to be organised, confident working with different stakeholders, and able to keep multiple campaigns moving without losing control of the detail. If you enjoy taking ownership of your work, spotting what can be improved, and seeing campaigns go from plan to live to impact, this is a role where you’ll have plenty of space to do exactly that and be part of a team that’s building something more consistent, more joined-up, and more effective across acquisition.

Change lives in a life-changing career

When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world can feel like it’s falling apart. Independence is taken and confidence is stolen. Stability no longer exists. The future suddenly feels uncertain.

The impact of cancer on young lives is more than medical. And that impact can be felt by entire family. That’s why we exist. Our specialist social workers help children and young people with cancer and their families navigate the emotional and practical impact of cancer.

We remove barriers, solve problems and prioritise wellbeing. And we stop at nothing to make their voices heard and their unique needs understood, so they can get the right care and support at the right time

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Social Worker to join our Birmingham Team supporting children and young people diagnosed with cancer.

We pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality support tailored to the needs of the children and young people and their families. The work we do is rewarding but also complex and demanding. You will be part of a close-knit Young Lives vs Cancer social work team, working with established NHS multi-disciplinary teams and services in the community.

This role is hybrid working requiring two to three days per week to be hospital based. Your contractual base will be both Home and Hospital.

This role is subject to a criminal record check. In the event of a successful application an enhanced criminal record check will be completed. A previous conviction is not necessarily a barrier to employment. We encourage qualified applicants to apply, and we will consider each case individually.

 This role is also subject to a Social Worker Registration.

What will I be doing?

No two days are the same at Young Lives vs Cancer. So, summarising your ‘day to day’ isn’t easy. Here are some of the main things you’ll be doing, but you’ll find more details in the job description.
 

• You will be committed to changemaking and delivering high-quality social work support to promote the best outcomes for the children, young people and families we work with.
• You will assess needs and develop an action plan, you will need to be curious, creative, resourceful, courageous and resilient.
• You will have a positive attitude and be willing to embrace difference.
• You will need a willingness to work collaboratively with the wider Young Lives vs Cancer team; you will actively engage with the work of the charity and welcome opportunities to get involved.

What do I need?

Diverse perspectives and unique skillsets are at the heart of Young Lives vs Cancer. If you're passionate about making a positive impact and eager to learn, we encourage you to apply, even if you don't meet the criteria and person specification fully. Your potential is what matters most to us, and we’re committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment to help you develop.

The key skills we’re looking for in this role are:

• A recognised Social Worker qualification and current registration with Social Work England/ Scottish Social Services Council/Social Care Wales/Northern Ireland Social Care Council
• Experience working with children, young people and their families/carers in a social care setting.
• Experience of working in a multi-disciplinary environment, ideally in an NHS setting.
• Sound knowledge of child and young people development.
• An understanding of the impact of serious illness for children, young people and their families.
• Excellent interpersonal skills.

What will I gain?

 For people to reach their full potential, they need the right environment. As a member of Team Young Lives, you’ll be made to feel supported, valued and appreciated. Here’s how we do it:

• Wellbeing, Thinking & Growth Days: four days a year to step back from the day-to-day and focus on your own learning and development
• Generous annual leave allowance
• Great family/caring leave entitlements
• Enhanced pension
• Access to our employee savings scheme

To find out more about our benefits package, have a look on our website.

Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

At Young Lives vs Cancer, we recognise that opportunities for too many people remain a condition of their sex, ethnicity, class, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation – or a combination. This has never been acceptable to us as an organisation. We don’t just accept difference, we value it, celebrate it, nurture it and we thrive because of it.

We’re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support. We know we aren’t there yet, and we’re passionately committed to taking actions and making changes to be a truly diverse, inclusive and equitable organisation. This includes taking anti-oppressive action and removing barriers in our recruitment practices. We particularly welcome applications from members of minoritised communities. Our Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging strategy will tell you more.

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 AI 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 tell us about your skills and experiences in your own voice.

Accessibility

We’re committed to providing reasonable adjustments throughout our recruitment process and we’ll always aim to be as accommodating as possible.  Please let us know in your application form of any adjustments or access requirements we could make to help you with the application process and interview.
