Bringing the Mast Cell Activation Syndrome community together

Our client is a small UK rare disease charity. Our client established at the end of 2015 to respond to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). MCAS is a crippling, unpredictable and frightening condition affecting the immune system. Sufferers from MCAS have “wrongly programmed” immune systems that react to a wide range of triggers including food, drink, stress, temperature and many others. The effects range from unpleasant allergic reactions, through to an overall debilitation resulting in people being unable to leave their houses. It was first recognised internationally in 1990, with a set of diagnostic criteria agreed in 2011, but is little known or understood in the UK, where incidence seems to be increasing. Here patients can wait 3-5 years for a diagnosis, often receive very little knowledge or help from within the medical establishment and can find themselves in a frightening limbo.

Their mission is to provide support for MCAS patients & their families; to bring the MCAS community together and create a cohesive voice; to lobby for awareness, universally available diagnosis and the best possible care for MCAS patients; and to inspire increased research into mast cell activation and related conditions, to improve understanding and treatment.

About our Fundraising team:

See the difference your relationship building skills make. Every day.

We’re small enough to be close-knit team where you can see the difference your ideas make to the care, we give every day. Yet, big and ambitious enough for you to grow and explore new campaigns, initiatives, and techniques.

As a team we will also support you to grow and learn in your role with training, development opportunities and fantastic wellness benefits.

About the role:

We have an exciting opportunity for a Legacy Officer to join our Legacies team. This is an ideal role for someone looking to gain more experience in fundraising or marketing, and at the same time, helping to make a difference to our communities when time matters most.

Gifts in Wills help fund over 1/3 of our vital care.  This role supports the delivery of our Hospice’s overall legacy strategy.  You will help build internal awareness around the importance of Gifts in Wills, collaborating across teams to support and increased engagement amongst key audiences to drive consideration and action by our supporters. 

You will support the Legacy team to implement our annual legacy operational plan.  Key areas of focus include lead generation; conversion and stewardship of those generous supporters who have already decided to support the Hospice with a gift in their Will.  Ensuring all legacy gifts left to the Hospice are managed in a sensitive, timely and professional way.

About you:

Empathy and listening skills come naturally to you. You will be pro-active and have good attention to detail, excellent communication skills, as well as some working knowledge of databases.

You will be comfortable engaging with the public, handling enquiries, and keeping supporters informed and inspired. You will be motivated to use your creative skills to develop campaigns and activities to help build relationships and keep people engaged and updated on how their support makes an impact.

You may have previous experience working in a fundraising environment, in relationship management/direct marketing or in a customer service related environment. Previous experience of legacy giving is not essential.

If you are a friendly team-orientated person who shares our values, and you’re looking for a new role in a supportive and inclusive environment, we’d love to hear from you!

As well as our competitive salary package and the opportunity of joining organisation where you will be able to make a difference to our patients and their families, we offer a range of great benefits, which include:

• 27 days’ annual leave, plus recognised public holidays - rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 33 days after 10 years’ service (pro rata for part time)

• educational and professional development opportunities (we have an on-site Education Team)
