About the organisation
MacKillop Family Services, a Catholic community agency, exists to support, foster hope and promote justice for children, young people and families, particularly those who have experienced distress, disadvantage and abuse. MacKillop works across New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. Each young person and family we work with is protected, nurtured and given the chance to build a brighter future.

About the role
THE OPPORTUNITY:
In this exciting role, you will manage the bequest program to achieve an increase in the number of bequest supporters and prospects; increase the value of bequest income to MacKillop Family Services; and ensure that supporters feel positive about the impact they can have through their bequest.

THE CANDIDATE:
To be successful in this role you will have a thorough understanding of fundraising and the principles of bequest solicitation and stewardship, coupled with experience in soliciting bequests and the administration of Estates. You will have a proven track record in engaging and nurturing donors, including the ability to have sensitive conversations regarding Wills and gifts in Wills.
The successful candidate will also have demonstrated capacity to work collaboratively with others, as well as the effective personal judgement to prioritise own work loads and work independently to achieve goals.
Based in the heart of South Melbourne, this is a part time (0.4 – 0.6EFT) role offering good work-life balance and a great team environment, as well as the opportunity to join an inspiring, values-driven organisation.
