Legacy and In Memory Officer

Macular disease is the biggest cause of sight loss in the UK, with around 300 people diagnosed every day. The Macular Society is the only charity determined to beat the fear and isolation of macular disease with world class research, and the best advice and support.

To support people affected by macular disease now, the Macular Society provides a range of support, information and services. Our research programme is focused on finding new treatments and a cure to beat macular disease forever.

We are undergoing significant changes, with a transformational new strategy to multiply our income, ultimately funding research that will find a cure.

The Legacy and In Memory Officer, alongside their fellow Officer team member, is responsible for delivering excellent donor care and stewardship of Legacy and In Memory supporters, as well as inspiring others to consider supporting the Macular Society in a way that suits them.

Your team is ambitious, curious and actively seeking ways to continue growing income from legacies and in memory donations, using a range of channels. Our team members enjoy working collaboratively, within a positive culture of high support and challenge.

You will contribute towards this by supporting the development of Legacy and In Memory campaigns, materials and stewardship, whilst ensuring that all donations and correspondence are recorded accurately, enquiries are fulfilled and donors thanked promptly.

We have a great working culture at Macular Society, and offer flexible working options, 26 days annual leave, rising to 27 after one years’ service, the ability to buy or sell annual leave, supportive family policies, and 6% pension contribution.

We are an equal opportunities employer and we welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons.

We offer a flexible approach to working in this role, including the potential opportunity to work compressed hours over fewer days, or spreading out the hours out across the working week.

It is important that you can work from our Andover office for all, or some, of your hours, in order to process and fulfil postal correspondence and donations.
