Legacy income is one of the three top sources of income for Quakers in Britain. That is why we are looking for someone who can motivate Quakers and supporters to fund our work through legacy giving. You’ll be part of a high-performing fundraising team, shaping communication and relationships with our long-term supporters.

This is a permanent, part-time position for 21 hours per week, spread over 3–5 days. We recognise that balancing the pressures of work and home life is often an important factor in taking a part-time role. We can be flexible in agreeing on how the hours are arranged across the week.

The role is based at our offices in Leeds (LS2) or London (NW1), or at home if you live outside London. London-based staff can work at home some of the time by agreement.

About you

• You will have a solid track record of working in a fundraising environment, ideally in legacy fundraising, in developing and maintaining high-value relationships, or within Quaker communities.
• You will have a sound understanding of what motivates individuals to make significant gifts to charities, organisations campaigning for social change, or faith organisations.
• You will also have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and be able to work collaboratively with a range of stakeholders, including volunteers.
• You will have a flexible approach to work and be excited by the opportunity to develop our legacy programme.
