Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office
What the job involves
We’re on the lookout for a Legacy and In Memory Executive to join our Individual Giving Team here at Prostate Cancer UK. This role focuses on legacy and in-memory giving - including gifts in wills which are some of the most meaningful contributions we receive, helping us fund research that will save and improve lives.
In this role you’ll be part of an exciting time at the charity, joining us as we roll out our new Fundraising Strategy and start developing new products. You’ll be delivering thoughtful, well-timed and engaging communications to a variety of audiences, helping us reach new supporters and deepen relationships with those already connected to us. Your work will play a vital part in raising awareness, encouraging supporters to consider leaving a gift in their Will, and providing meaningful ways to remember loved ones.
Working closely with our Legacy and In Memory Manager, you’ll help manage relationships with external agencies and collaborate with both internal teams and external partners to make sure our plans are delivered smoothly and successfully. It’s a role where your creativity, empathy and organisation will all come into play.
You’ll also be responsible for the operational duties of the Prostate Cancer Memorial Sculpture – a poignant tribute to the dads, grandads, brothers and friends we’ve lost to prostate cancer, and a place for families and communities to reflect, remember and raise awareness.
What we want from you
We’re looking for someone ready to take ownership of our legacy and in-memory giving programmes, ensuring their continued growth and success. You do not necessarily need previous experience within a legacy role but be willing to develop skills and knowledge in this area. You’ll bring warmth, empathy and professionalism to every interaction, recognising that behind every gift is a deeply personal story.
You’ll have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, and a genuine sensitivity when engaging with supporters – whether they’re considering a gift in their Will or honouring the memory of someone special. You’ll be comfortable working collaboratively with teams across the organisation, as well as with external partners and agencies, always bringing a positive, solution-focused approach. You’ll know how to tailor messages for different audiences and balance multiple priorities while meeting deadlines.
If you’re looking for a role where you can make a meaningful difference every day, we’d love to hear from you.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Ally Ship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identity as an Ally.
We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.

Our hybrid working approach combines the best of flexible working – a positive work/life balance, inclusive and accessible platforms, and online information at our fingertips.

The East Lancashire Light Railway isn't just a heritage railway - it's a living, breathing part of the North West's story. From restored steam engines and scenic journeys to immersive education projects and volunteer-powered restoration, ELR has been igniting imaginations and connecting generations for over 35 years.
They're now looking for their first ever Fundraising Lead. A passionate, proactive and strategic fundraiser who will power up income generation and help secure the future.
Why this role matters
As a charity, ELR depends on the generosity of individuals, trusts, corporate partners and communities who believe in the mission - to preserve, protect and bring to life an irreplaceable part of Lancashire and Britain's shared history.
From repairing historic bridges to conserving locomotives and creating enriching experiences at the Transport Museum, fundraising supports every corner of the operation. And right now, there's a real appetite and willingness to take it to the next level.
This is a rare opportunity to build something from the ground up. You'll lead on creating an income generation strategy that balances fresh creativity with solid fundraising foundations. By shaping compelling campaigns, nurturing supporters and building long-term relationships, you'll begin to embed a culture of giving across the railway.
What you'll be doing
- Lead and coordinate all aspects of fundraising, acting as the go-to person for internal and external stakeholders.
- Develop a refreshed case for support and compelling messaging.

About you
We're looking for a skilled and motivated fundraiser with a love for stories, a head for strategy, and a heart for community.
You'll need to bring:
- Fundraising experience, ideally across multiple income streams (ticking one or more boxes from trusts/foundations, individual giving, corporate partners).
- A knack for crafting a compelling case for support and proposals that pack a punch.
- The drive to take initiative and work independently, as well as collaborating and thriving alongside colleagues and volunteers.
- A genuine passion for heritage, culture or community, but you don't need to be a railway enthusiast (though they'll happily help to convert you!).
This is a role for a builder and creator, someone excited to take ownership of a fundraising strategy and have the confidence to deliver.
Why join us?
This isn't just a desk job. You'll be surrounded by volunteers in overalls, engineers working on engines, school groups full of questions, and a loyal public who care deeply about the railway.
Whether you're looking to step into your first leadership role or bring your seasoned experience to something with heart and heritage, this is your ticket.
To apply, all you need to do is send a copy of your CV or brief overview of your career/profile to Amelia Lee as the first step.
We'll then be back in touch with further details on the application process, providing your experience meets the brief.
