Greenpeace is a movement of people who are passionate about defending the natural world from destruction. Their vision is a world where everyone has equal access to clean air, water, and energy; where the nature we love is protected, precious habitats are restored and communities are united by ambitious climate action.
Legacy giving is a vital and growing part of Greenpeace UK's fundraising programme, generating £5–7.5 million each year and playing a crucial role in securing long-term, sustainable income. Following a recent step-change in investment, there is now a significant opportunity to accelerate growth and position legacy giving more centrally across Greenpeace UK’s fundraising and supporter engagement.
This role is central to Greenpeace UK’s legacy programme, managing a varied caseload from straightforward estates to complex and high-value cases. As a newly created position, it brings legacy administration fully in-house and will play a key role in ensuring income is realised in full, accurately managed, and delivered in line with best practice.
As Legacy Case Manager, you will:
- Manage a caseload of residuary, pecuniary, life interest, discretionary, and high-value legacies, including contentious cases
- Lead on the preparation, monitoring and reporting of the legacy income budget and mid year forecasts, working closely with Finance and Fundraising colleagues to provide accurate, timely projections and variance analysis
- Work closely with internal teams and build effective external relationships with solicitors, executors and families to support positive outcomes
- Identify and resolve complex issues involving probate, trusts, tax, property, or litigation
- Represent Greenpeace UK externally with professionalism, fostering constructive relationships with pledgers, executors, solicitors, and sector peers
- Ensure compliance with relevant legislation, Charity Commission guidance, and ILM best practice
Essential skills and experience:
- Substantial experience in charity legacy and estate administration, both contentious and non-contentious
- Significant knowledge of probate, trusts, tax, and property issues relevant to legacy casework
- Strong understanding of sector best practice in legacy administration and charity law
- Proven ability to manage a high-volume and varied caseload to deadlines
- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
- Diplomacy, empathy, and resilience in handling contentious or sensitive cases
- Ability to work independently, prioritise effectively, and manage competing demands
A legal, probate, or legacy administration qualification is advantageous but not required.

Greenpeace UK recognise the value in having a diverse workforce, as well as the importance of creating equal opportunities for all. Applications are welcomed and encouraged from people of all backgrounds.

Anti-racism and inclusion commitments
Greenpeace UK wants its team to reflect the diversity of the communities it works alongside. It is committed to fairness, inclusion, and challenging discrimination and oppression in all its forms.
The environmental sector still has further to go when it comes to representation. Greenpeace UK has published ambitious race representation targets and, through its Anti Racism Plan, is working proactively to achieve stronger representation of people of colour, particularly within leadership positions.
As part of this commitment, a Guaranteed Interview Scheme (GIS) is being piloted. Greenpeace UK aims to offer an interview to everyone who opts into the scheme and meets the essential criteria.

Individual Giving Lead When You Wish Upon a Star | £30,000–£35,000 | Nottingham / Hybrid | Permanent
Some roles are defined before you arrive. This one is defined by you.
When You Wish Upon a Star grants life-changing wishes for children with terminal and life-threatening illnesses. Every wish is a memory that lasts a lifetime for a family facing the unimaginable. The cause is immediate, emotionally powerful and directly translatable into the kind of impact that makes supporters proud to be involved.
We are looking for someone to develop and lead our individual giving function. You will shape the strategy, grow and steward our community of individual supporters, and define what this looks like for Wish. You will have the full backing of the CEO and board, direct access to senior leadership, and the freedom to bring your own thinking, creativity and ambition to a function that is yours to build.
If that sounds like the role you have been waiting for, we would love to hear from you.
What you will be doing
You will identify, engage and grow a community of individual supporters who feel deeply connected to our mission, developing propositions and campaigns that are emotionally compelling and inspire long-term giving. You will represent Wish confidently, create the systems and supporter journeys that enable sustainable growth, and lay the foundations for an individual giving programme that grows in both income and impact. As income grows, so does the role. The expectation is that this person builds not just a strong base of individual supporters but, in time, a team around it.
You will work closely with the Head of Income Generation and Board, with realistic targets in the early stages that give you the time and space to build meaningful relationships rather than focus on short-term gains. This is not a role where you will be left to figure it out alone. It is one where your ideas are valued, your judgement is trusted, and your ambition is actively supported.
What you will bring
Experience developing, growing or significantly influencing individual giving income streams, including regular giving and lottery programmes, and engaging supporters at scale to inspire long-term and higher-value giving. Experience of managing the end-to-end supporter journey through CRM systems, using insight and data to drive acquisition, retention and growth.
A strong instinct for understanding what motivates people to give, and the ability to turn that insight into campaigns and experiences that feel personal, compelling and effective. Comfort with ownership, and the confidence to create momentum and build something from the ground up.
What we offer
We know what we are asking of you and we have built a package to reflect it.
-
£30,000–£35,000, reviewed as the function grows
-
25 days holiday rising to 30 with service, plus 3 days at Christmas not taken from your allowance
-
2 Wish Maker days each year to make your own wishes come true
-
6 months full maternity pay
-
Full sick pay from day one
-
Flexible working with full trust over how you structure your hours
-
A culture built on genuine care for the people who work here
