UNICEF ensures more of the world's children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we're not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as a Supporter Engagement Manager working to promote gifts in Wills as a way of giving to UNICEF.

The post holder will develop key internal relationships and ways of working to support the ambition that every supporter knows they can and has the tools and information they need to include a gift in their Will to UNICEF.

In the role you will develop relationships with supporters, adapting to their preferred communication channels to deliver excellent stewardship and cultivation. You will take responsibility for a portfolio of individual relationships. You will develop the objectives for Gifts in Wills events, including our upcoming flagship Summer Garden Party.

In this role you will need to be supporter driven comfortable adapting your style to different forms of communication and a diverse range of supporters.
