Senior Legacy Administration Officer

3 weeks ago


Oxford, United Kingdom Oxfam GB Full time

**Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty.**

Do you have experience in legacy administration within a charity, or are you legally qualified in UK or common law jurisdiction with demonstrable ability to handle legacy administration matters?

Are you able to exhibit a high level of sensitivity and self-awareness when dealing with bereaved family members?

Do you have practical experience of probate and relevant tax law?

If so, we’d like to hear from you

**The Role**

In this role, you will provide an effective and empathetic legacy administration service, maximising Oxfam’s legacy income while maintaining a sympathetic approach to bereaved families.

**What we are looking for**
- Self-Awareness (including how the way we perform our role relates to bereaved families and other charities)
- Agility, Complexity and Ambiguity (not least the tension between maximising income and recognising difficult cases where other claimants feel their entitlement should take priority)
- Sensitivity to bereaved family members
- Either experience in legacy administration within a charity, or legally qualified in UK or common law jurisdiction with demonstrable ability to handle legacy administration matters (as Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive or in a bank or other provider of legacy administration services)
- Practical experience of probate and relevant tax law
- Understanding of international dimension of transactions, ideally cross-border legacy administration matters such as tax and probate
- Ability to work in a paperless environment and use appropriate IT systems
- Numeracy skills
- Ability to work equally in a detail-focused manner as well as big-picture oriented, so as to effectively prioritise workload and projects

**Flexfam**

**Our values and commitment to safeguarding**:
**Oxfam is committed to preventing any type of unwanted behaviour at work including sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse, lack of integrity and financial misconduct; and committed to promoting the welfare of children, young people, adults and beneficiaries with whom Oxfam GB engages. Oxfam expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment through our code of conduct. We place a high priority on ensuring that only those who share and demonstrate our **values** are recruited to work for us.**

The post holder will undertake the appropriate level of training and is responsible for ensuring that they understand and work within the safeguarding policies of the organisation.

**We are committed to ensuring diversity and gender equality within our organisation and encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply.**

**How to apply**:
**About us**:
Oxfam is a global community who believe poverty isn’t inevitable. It’s an injustice that can be overcome. We are shop volunteers, women’s right activists, marathon runners, aid workers, coffee farmers, street fundraisers, goat herders, policy experts, campaigners, water engineers and more. And we won’t stop until everyone can live life without poverty for good.

Oxfam GB is a member of international confederation of 21 organisations working together with partners and local communities in the areas of humanitarian, development and campaigning, in more than 90 countries.

**A thriving diverse Oxfam**:
It’s people power that brings about change. To play our part as a global organisation working to overcome poverty and inequality, we need equality, diversity and inclusion across our community of staff, partners and volunteers. Together, we’re committed to becoming a more diverse workforce, better able to tackle the global challenges that face our world today.

To do that:

- We need to dismantle the unequal power structures that exist everywhere, this including Oxfam and the wider development and charity sectors.
- We need an inclusive Oxfam where everyone can bring who they are to our work and feels celebrated for the differences they bring.
- We want and need everyone, and that means we need you.
