At Help for Heroes, we believe those who serve our country deserve support when they are wounded. Every day, men and women have to leave their career in the Armed Forces as a result of physical or psychological wounds; their lives changed forever. We help them, and those still serving, to recover and get on with their lives.

And who are we you’re wondering? We are experts and beginners. Generalists and specialists. Ordinary people with an extraordinary passion towards making a positive change to the lives of our veterans (and having fun while doing it).

As One Team we share a philosophy – I.C.A.R.E. It’s the way we walk and talk, the way we interact with others and how we approach everything we do. We are:

Innovative – Collaborative – Authentic – Resourceful – Energetic. 

We have an incredible opportunity for a Senior Legacy & In Memory Manager to join our team.

Please see below for more information on what just might be your future role.

About You

Do you have a passion for legacy and in memory giving? Do you have knowledge of legacy administration and have team management experience too? If so, this may just the job for you!

About the Role

Contributing over 50% of the organisation’s fundraised income, this role is crucial for Help for Heroes. Working with your team, you’ll be responsible for the organisation’s legacy marketing strategy and administration, as well as the in memory giving strategy, maximising both income sources so that we can deliver more services to veterans. You will be able to make a significant impact and will use your expertise to drive forward the programmes. There’s lots of scope and potential for someone to make a real difference and achieve considerable success! 

About the Team

The post holder will be working as part of the Individual Giving team in the Commercial Directorate which includes Supporter Care, Individual Giving and Legacy & In Memory. Across all our relationships, we build trust and engagement with our supporters and with each other. The quality of how we deliver our objectives is just as important as the end results. We are known for our expertise, supporter focus and collaboration. We’re friendly, supportive and like to get things done!
