  • Collaborate with Communications, Marketing, and other internal teams to deliver high-quality event materials and messaging.
  • Provide general administrative support to the Gifts in Wills team as required.
  • Models collaboration, creativity, candour and curiosity in team culture.

  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with a warm and professional manner when engaging with supporters.
  • Proven ability to build rapport with older supporters and deliver experiences that feel personal, respectful and memorable.
  • High attention to detail, accuracy, and commitment to delivering quality experiences.
