Job description

St Luke’s Hospice – Caring for Harrow and Brent St Luke’s Hospice cares for people approaching the end of their life in Harrow and Brent. We aim to give the people we care for the best possible quality of life, each and every day. Supporting local people and their families is at the heart of what we do – focusing on what matters the most to them is at the centre of our care.

The care we give is free of charge, available to all, and respects the cultures, religions, and beliefs in our richly diverse community. Our care is given with compassion and dignity and involves not just looking after the patient, but also includes supporting the people closest to them. 

We receive around 40% of our funding from the NHS and the rest is raised from the amazing generosity of the organisations and people who make our care possible. Our local community is a vital partner in our care, kindly supporting us through their donations and fundraising alongside the dedication of over 800 incredible volunteers who freely give us their time to support the best possible end-of-life care for local people.

Job Purpose and scope

Legacies is an exciting key area of growth for St Luke’s Hospice.

A wonderful opportunity has arisen to join our fundraising team, as a Legacy and In-Memory Fundraiser.  This is a key role in the development of our legacy programme for existing and new supporters, in order to increase income from legacies and to grow our pipeline of legacy prospects.

You will report into the Individual Giving Manager to generate income for St Luke’s by leading on a legacy strategy, building and maintaining legacy partnerships and providing excellent supporter care.  You will develop and implement our legacy marketing plans to engage clinicians, volunteers and retail staff with the importance of our legacy work.  You will manage a growing pool of legacy prospects and pledgers, recording and tracking donor metrics.  You will also be responsible for promoting and actively marketing our in-memory offering, and sourcing compelling and engaging case studies for marketing purposes.

We are looking for someone who has a passion for legacy fundraising and can promote the difference gifts in wills make to our cause. We want legacies to become embedded in normal, regular conversations with our supporters, and to make it easy for people to give, if they so choose.  You will play a key role in helping St Luke’s Hospice foster a legacy fundraising culture to ensure future growth for our charity.
