Job description

Time to care. Time to make a difference!

The Legacy and In Memory Manager is a pivotal and rewarding role within the Fundraising and Marketing team at St Barnabas Hospice. You will lead the development and delivery of our Legacy and In Memory strategies, with a clear focus on growing sustainable income during an increasingly challenging economic climate.

This role is ideal for someone who is compassionate, calm, and confident in supporting people at sensitive moments in their lives. You will ensure that every supporter who chooses to give in memory of a loved one, or through a gift in their Will, is treated with the utmost kindness, dignity, and respect. Stewardship will be at the heart of everything you do, ensuring supporters feel valued and connected to the impact of their generosity.

Reporting to the Head of Fundraising and Marketing, you will work closely with Fundraising Managers and colleagues across the organisation to ensure plans are aligned, insight‑led, and supporter‑focused. You will champion and celebrate legacy and in memory giving both internally and externally, helping to raise awareness of the vital role these gifts play in enabling hospice care across Lincolnshire.

You will be accountable for an income target across Legacy and In Memory giving. This will involve understanding the market in which you operate, including the motivations and drivers behind this type of support, and using insight to inform strategy, campaigns, and stewardship activity.

You will be confident in working with senior managers, directors, and trustees, as well as building strong external relationships with solicitors, Will writers, and professional advisers. Through these partnerships, you will help secure long‑term, sustainable funding and ensure St Barnabas Hospice can continue to provide compassionate care to people living with life‑limiting and terminal illness throughout Lincolnshire.

You will champion and celebrate legacies and in memory giving – internally and externally – raising awareness of the importance of legacies to our work showing the difference these make to lives of people affected by a life limiting or terminal illness throughout Lincolnshire.
