The Brooke is the UK’s leading overseas working equine welfare charity, dedicated to improving the lives of horses, donkeys and mules working in some of the poorest communities in the world. On average six or more people depend on the income generated through the work of each animal and so by improving animal welfare, the lives of poor people in the developing world are improved. Our goal is to increase the number of working animals we reach from 900,000 every year to 2 million suffering horses, donkeys and mules in the most need in the developing world by 2016.
The Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen at the Brooke for an innovative and experienced Senior Legacy Officer to join our friendly team of four, responsible for a legacy income of c.£6m. As a vitally important part of the Brooke’s fundraising team, you will be responsible for your own legacy caseload and will also be involved in supporter care relating to legacy gifts.
Criteria
Possessing sound knowledge of the law relating to wills, taxation and charities, you will also have a ILM Certificate in Charity Legacy Administration (CiCLA), STEP qualification or equivalent. Excellent communication skills are required together with a proven track record of working in charity legacy administration or as a solicitor with experience of probate work. You will be IT literate and have excellent accounting and data processing skills. Time management and a common sense attitude are also essential, as is a desire to build on the Brooke’s significant achievements in developing strong relationships with our supporters.
If you’d like the opportunity to join our team, and help working animals and the poor families who depend on them for their livelihood, then we’d love to hear from you.
Closing Date: 18th January 2012 (Midday)
