<p><strong>About The Royal British Legion</strong></p>
<p><strong>Careers in Fundraising</strong></p>
<p>Across the country, in every city and on every street, the Legion is there to support our Armed Forces community. As the largest charity of our kind, we have 235,000 members, 60,000 volunteers and a network of partners all helping us give support wherever and whenever it's needed.</p>
<p>With over 200 employees, our Fundraising teams form an important part of this pack. Their passion and collaboration bring in millions of pounds every year. Money that goes on to improve and change the lives of this community.</p>
<p>It's this mission, this scale, this challenge and the values we all live by, that makes the Legion such a fulfilling place to thrive.</p>
<p>As a directorate we commit to ensuring our supporters feel valued, and driven to deliver fundraising that is effective, agile and sector leading. We do this by putting supporters at the heart of everything we do, and by embedding a learning culture in our teams where process improvement and innovation are embraced and celebrated.</p>
<p>So, if you want to give your days meaning. To put your passion into a role with real impact. To support people and be supported yourself. In an inclusive team that faces every challenge together. Whatever your interests and ambitions, we think you’ll find a role here that works for you, with career opportunities right across the UK.</p>
<p><strong>The Role</strong></p>
<p>As the Royal British Legion celebrates its 100th anniversary and looks forward to the future, our valuable fundraising relationships with companies are more important than ever. We have a successful track record of securing and nurturing partnerships with some of the UK’s best known businesses, which deliver multi-million pounds worth of income and additional benefits. This role will be integral to ensuring that we continue to find new companies with which we can build sustainable, mutually beneficial, award-winning partnerships.</p>
<p>Facing great challenges in the post-pandemic world – from the increasing needs of the Armed Forces community to a competitive third sector – you will need to be a passionate, self-motivated and entrepreneurial fundraiser. With experience of new business corporate fundraising or private sector sales and marketing, you will understand how to engage businesses, work with stakeholders at any level, and identify synergies between our work and their objectives.</p>
<p>You should have a good working knowledge of the new business cycle, from initial research and making approaches to closing the deal. You should be confident meeting new people and building relationships quickly, whether business stakeholders or internal colleagues. We are a team that thrives on innovation and new ideas, so you should be able to see opportunities and find creative solutions to challenges.</p>
<p>You need to be a passionate advocate for corporate partnerships, the RBL and the Armed Forces community, whilst also recognising that we need to safeguard our brand and reputation. In return, you will become part of a high performing, supportive and friendly team of fundraisers, committed to future success.</p>
<p>Please note this role is based at our Head Office which is located at Haig House, 199 Borough High Street, London, SE1 1AA. Currently, the role will be home-based, with a degree of flexibility available when offices open again.</p>
<p>As an inclusive employer, we welcome conversations on flexible working and any reasonable adjustments that may be required.</p>
<p><strong>Diversity Statement</strong></p>
<p>We believe that the compassion, understanding and service we show each, and every individual customer should be reflected in the way we all support, respect and include every individual who works with us.</p>
<p>It’s because of this that we have strived hard to create a One Legion culture that we can all feel part of and succeed in. It’s why we make sure that you have the opportunities you need to learn and develop. It’s why we’re invested in making RBL a truly inclusive place to work, where everyone can be themselves. It’s why you’re welcome, whoever you might be.</p>
<p>It’s why we welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences.</p>
