The Role

The North West England Methodist District (NWED) is seeking to appoint a Digital Enabler. The role is home-based, with travel throughout the District. The Digital Enabler will facilitate the effective participation by all members in the life of the Church in the North West England District by supporting stakeholders at all levels to facilitate digital evangelism and building and maintaining the District’s online presence.

NWED

NWED came to being in September 2024 following the joining together of a number of Methodist Districts. We cover the geographical area of Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and parts of Cheshire and Derbyshire. Within this are inner city, industrial, post-industrial, suburban, and rural areas – no two towns are the same.

The District embraces a rich breadth and variety of theological perspectives and worship styles. A range of fresh expressions of Church (messy church, café church, arts-based projects, digital spaces etc.) are nurtured without neglecting the other, more traditional, expressions and all are equally valued.

We exist primarily to advance the mission of the Methodist Church in our District by supporting churches and circuits (a circuit is a group of churches served by a team, including one or more ministers).

See the difference you can make. Every day.

We’re small enough to be a 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 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 the ideal role for someone looking to gain more experience in legacy fundraising, and for someone who wants to make a difference to our communities when time matters most.

You will help deliver the legacy fundraising programme with the aim of securing and retaining legacy pledges, and ultimately growing income from this vital source of support.

A large part of the role will also be focused on the stewardship of existing pledgers, considerers and enquirers.  You will be comfortable engaging with the public, handling enquiries, and keeping our supporters engaged with and updated on our work.

You will also work closely with the Legacy Lead to develop marketing campaigns, legacy materials, and to support other promotional activities and the wider Legacy team

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 may have previous experience working in a fundraising environment, in relationship management/direct marketing or in a customer service related role.

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)
• subsidised meals at our on-site restaurant
• access to Blue Light Card discount card
• access to our Group Pension Scheme
• educational and professional development opportunities (we have an on-site Education Team)
• free on-site parking
• tranquil Hospice grounds
• Employee Assistance Programme
• wellbeing - we provide a programme of activities, opportunities, and guidance to inspire and support our employees to live a healthy life, at home and at work.
