Full time role - 37 hours per week 

For more than 80 years, families have been choosing MHA to support the needs and aspirations of their loved ones in later life.

We are here to help people to live later life well.

Could you be the person to join MHA as our Individual Giving & Legacy Assistant as we continue to enable people to thrive in later life?

About the Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the MHA Fundraising department as the Legacy & Individual Giving Assistant.

Reporting to the Legacy & Individual Giving Manager, you will be a key member of the Fundraising team at MHA. It is a wide-ranging role that will be crucial in making sure that the team meets their aim of increasing income from individuals and securing future income from gifts in Wills.

Your strong administration skills will enable you to assist the team in the delivery of the legacy and individual giving programmes, providing the high-quality administrative support that underpins all of the activities that are implemented. This will include providing excellent supporter care through all communication channels and being the first point of contact for related fundraising enquiries. This is not solely an administration role though. You will have opportunities to develop your marketing and fundraising skills through your involvement in a variety of activities, such as, appeals and campaigns, digital marketing, events, supporter care and internal communications.

There will also be opportunities to work on ad-hoc projects, collaborate with the wider Fundraising team as well as other departments across the charity.

About You
With a proactive, high-energy and enthusiastic approach you will enjoy working as part of a team. You will have excellent communication skills, which you will use in building relationships with colleagues, supporters and service users, showing empathy and sensitivity at all times.

In addition to strong administration skills, and a keen attention to detail, you will have experience in planning and coordinating your own workload and enjoy taking on extra challenges such as ad hoc projects.

In return we offer a committed and supportive team and a great staff membership scheme which includes training, pension, life assurance, access to high street vouchers and lots more.
