Legacy Manager - Bluebell Railway

About this opportunity

We are looking for a volunteer to help the Trust team with wills and legacies, which includes liaising with executors and their solicitors, and monitoring and reporting on the progress of the administration of estates. We also assist individuals who are thinking of leaving gifts in their wills to the Bluebell.

The role would perhaps suit a retired solicitor, accountant or professional executor, or someone with a reasonable working knowledge of the law and practice of wills and estate administration. A sympathetic and helpful approach to donors and the ability to work closely with colleagues would be beneficial. You do not need to be a legacy professional.

The Trust team works on site at Sheffield Park Station on Wednesdays or Thursdays, although much of their work is done remotely from home. The Trust, like the Bluebell as a whole, supports equal opportunities.

Current Projects Funded by Will Legacies

• The overhauls of Q Class No 541 and P Class 323 "Bluebell"
• The replacement of almost half a mile of worn out track south of Sharpthorne Tunnel
• The overhaul of Bulleid designed Carriages

There is no age limit for this role, and a DBS check is not required. Most of the work is done from home but travel to Sheffield Park Station is required on occasions.
