You will be tasked with the following areas of work to maximise income for the independent Scottish hospices involved:
* Securing vital income from national Scottish corporate fundraising partnerships to fund the work of independent hospices. Year one target of £100,000 rising to at least £250,000 by the end of year three.
* Developing a compelling case for support for Scotland’s Hospices Together which is specifically targeted at businesses in Scotland.
* Leading on the development of brand assets, website and social media presence for Scotland’s Hospices Together, with a budget to do so.
* Researching and identifying potential corporate partners and preparing a plan and pipeline for applications and proactive approaches.
* Leading on the delivery of pitches, applications and approaches across Scotland.
* Acting as an ambassador for Scotland’s Hospices Together members, at all times representing the best interests of the members, and ultimately the patients and families we support.
* Working across all members to negotiate and coordinate involvement in all relevant campaigns, pitches, applications and activity.
* On appointment we will agree a series of key performance indicators including number of applications and pitches made and the level of income generated, by which success will be measured.

About the role and why we need you
As part of our multi-million-pound funding programme for discovery cancer research, you can make an impact every day at Worldwide Cancer Research.
We are working on a strategy of income growth and diversification in the Fundraising & Philanthropy team, and your role will be central to achieving this mission. Working closely with the Head of Fundraising & Philanthropy, the Legacy Manager is responsible for delivery of our legacy growth strategy including:
• End-to-end stewardship of potential supporters; and

Who are we?
At Worldwide Cancer Research, we start new cures. Cancer is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but cutting-edge science can give us hope. Discovery research seeks to uncover new knowledge that could change the way we think about cancer. It reveals new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer that can save lives.
We actively seek unconventional and imaginative ideas from scientists at all stages of their career, across the globe. In some cases, we are the only organisation that will fund a scientist’s idea. We take an unbiased approach to research funding by focusing on supporting only the best ideas for new cures. By having a diverse research portfolio, we increase our chances of finding breakthroughs.
Our vision is of a day when no life is cut short by cancer, and we believe we can achieve this by starting the life-saving advances of the future by sowing the seeds of discoveries. Anyone that helps bring forward breakthroughs – including our staff, our supporters, and the researchers we fund – is a Curestarter.
As a charity, we are committed to opportunity without barriers, and we are striving to seek, value and learn from different perspectives and experiences. We want Worldwide Cancer Research to be an inclusive organisation – where everyone can be themselves and feel valued – as diverse as the scientific community we fund and the families whose lives we impact.
We are committed to ensuring that we provide equal opportunities to every applicant regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. We aim to ensure that our recruitment process is unbiased and that everyone is treated equitably. In support of this, we have pledged to ‘Show the Salary’ for our roles and we are registered as a Disability Confident Committed Employer - because our team members are at the heart of everything we do to start new cancer cures around the world.
To help start new cancer cures and save lives, we are looking for a Legacy Manager to join the ambitious Fundraising and Philanthropy team at Worldwide Cancer Research, to help the charity run its multi-million-pound funding programme for discovery cancer research.
