As our new Legacy Officer, you will be at the heart of some of the most meaningful relationships we build—supporting individuals who want to leave a lasting gift for nature through their Will or in memory of a loved one.

You’ll lead on the marketing of legacies and will work with the Director of Fundraising & Communications to nurture relationships with legacy pledgers.  

You’ll be the friendly, compassionate point of contact for legacy enquiries, nurturing conversations with care and confidence. From heartfelt one-to-one conversations to the delivery of inspiring and thoughtful events and tailored communications, you’ll help our supporters feel valued and inspired, knowing their gifts will make a difference for wildlife in Cheshire.

You’ll also work closely with solicitors, executors, and our team to ensure every gift is administered with professionalism and respect.

If you're a natural relationship-builder with experience in supporter care, fundraising or marketing, this is your chance to join a small but fast-paced, purpose-driven Fundraising & Communications team at a critical time for nature. 

You’ll be joining a charity with bold ambitions and a clear mission to restore nature across Cheshire. Your work will directly support that goal. If you’re looking for a role where you can build on what you’ve achieved and see the difference you make every day, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a part-time role (21 hours per week), and we're happy to discuss alternative working hours.

To apply, please email your cover letter and CV in PDF format to Emma Raine jobs@cheshirewt.org.uk no later than midday on Wednesday the 9th of July 2025. Interviews will be held on Tuesday the 29th of July.
