Legacies and In Memory Officer in Dinas Powys

We are delighted to share an exciting opportunity to join our Income Generation team in a newly created Legacies and In Memory Officer role.

About the Role:

Are you a proactive, experienced fundraiser or communications professional who enjoys building relationships and delivering great supporter experience? Join us at an exciting time as we continue to grow our legacy and in-memory income to support more children and families in Wales. This is a wonderful opportunity to build on an already strong and successful programme; the charity currently receives over £1.5 million each year from legacy income, alongside a strong pipeline of enquirers and pledgers. In-memory giving is also a key area we wish to further develop to maximise new opportunities for sustainable growth and supporter engagement.

About you:

You’re an experienced fundraiser or supporter-facing professional who already knows how to deliver high-quality campaigns and meaningful supporter experiences. You’re confident working across multiple channels to run effective fundraising or marketing activity, using insight, evidence and creativity to shape what works. You naturally build warm, trust-based relationships with people - supporters, volunteers, pledgers, enquirers and retail colleagues and you understand how to tailor communication to different audiences with clarity and care. You’re equally comfortable managing projects, suppliers and budgets, keeping everything on track and to deadline, and you use data intelligently to improve future work. You thrive working collaboratively across a charity, bringing strong communication skills and a keen eye for detail. Most importantly, you’re motivated by making a genuine difference to children and families accessing hospice care. You’ll need to be flexible, as some evenings and weekends will be part of the role to fit around the needs of our supporters.

Ty Hafan's ambition is that when a child's life will be short, no family should have to live it on their own. Sadly, we know that thousands of families in Wales are struggling alone through the fear, exhaustion and uncertainty that comes with caring for a child whose life will be short. We believe that no family should have to live this on their own and we are determined to walk alongside every family through life, death and beyond.

At Ty Hafan we are experts at caring for children with life-shortening conditions and our services support families in our hospice, in community settings, local hospitals and in families' homes. We understand that the needs of each child and their family are unique and we know that caring for a child with a life-shortening condition is often extremely demanding. Our aim is to make sure that no one doing this is alone. Our colleagues, volunteers and supporters are crucial in the delivery of our ambition - we know that everyone plays a huge part in making sure that no family faces their child's short life alone.

Our Vision: A Wales where every child with a life-shortening condition lives a fulfilling life, supported with the compassion and specialist care they and their family need.

Our Purpose: No family should have to face the unimaginable loss of their child alone. With children and families at the heart of all we do, we provide free care and support in our hospice and in the community, offering a lifeline throughout the child's short life, at end of life, through bereavement and beyond.

Our Values: At Ty Hafan we make a difference by living our values: Demonstrating Compassion, Providing Excellent Service, Working Together and Taking Ownership.
