About us:

The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest community funder in the UK - we’re proud to award money raised by players of The National Lottery  to communities across the UK. Last year alone we gave out over half a billion pounds (£508.5 million) of National Lottery funding to over 11,000 community projects across the UK, enabling even more people and communities to bring their ideas and ambitions to life. We support a wide range of health, educational, environmental, and charitable projects with grants ranging from as little as £500 to multi-million-pound programmes. 86% of our new grants were for less than £10k.

At the heart of everything we do is the belief that when people are in the lead, communities thrive. National Lottery funding is open to everyone and we’re privileged to be able to work with the smallest of grassroots groups right up to large UK-wide charities. We have changed how we work across the Fund to help us serve people and communities more effectively, working flexibly and on their terms; working closer to communities.

About the Role:

We’re an award-winning team, established in 2017 to tell the story of the difference our funding makes. We’re finding new ways to gather and share knowledge about our grants, from using evidence and stories to write accessible, engaging content to building an evidence library of the Fund’s work. We’re also working to change how the whole organisation thinks about learning, to make the most of insights from our grantholders and our own staff. We want to tell the world about the extraordinary work the Fund supports, and to share those stories as vividly and accessibly as possible.

Who we are
 

Catch22 exists to help build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose.  ‘We call these our 3Ps’.

We achieve this in two ways. First we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of public services. Secondly, we use our knowledge to change ‘the system’, to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda.

The Development Team as a whole is the engine room of Catch22’s mission and business plan. It consists of the Partnerships, Business Development and Communications and Marketing units and collectively seeks to grow our reach, influence, impact and secure funds that allow us to change peoples’ lives for the better. If you are intrinsically motivated by impact, have the skills, but more than anything, you are creative, entrepreneurial and passionate, we want to talk to you. 

We seek out partners who have the vision to think big and go on a journey with us, challenging current forms of delivery, and piloting new ideas that can be scaled.

This role is central to Catch22 Development Team’s ambitious plans for finding like-minded partners who want to change the world.

You will be joining an entrepreneurial, energetic and passionate unit with a fun but hardworking culture, all relentlessly committed to Catch22’s core mission and purpose: to build resilience and aspiration in people and communities that need it the most. This is a relatively new unit and with significant recent success we want more brilliant people to join us to help move things forward.

You will have autonomy over sourcing and securing partnerships that contribute to Catch22’s overall development objectives, including fundraising goals. Most of the time you will be expected to operate under your own initiative and curiosity, researching and identifying partners, and winning them over with solid cases for support and your enthusiasm and belief in the work that we do.

Relationships will be at the centre of what you do, and getting alongside, impressing, and persuading people will be key to your and our collective success. A Development Coordinator will report to you and support with market research, proposal writing and development and general project management skills.

Qualifications -

• Strong command of English & Maths
