About us 

The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest funder of community activity in the UK – we support people and communities to prosper and thrive.

National Lottery players raise an incredible £36 million a week for good causes. This money funds projects and activities that transform communities, protect our heritage and enrich lives through arts, spots and culture. We are proud to be one of 12 distributors responsible for awarding this funding across the UK.

Thanks to National Lottery players, last year we were able to award over half a billion pounds of life-changing funding to UK communities, supporting thousands of projects making a real difference to people’s lives.

Over eight in ten of our grants were for under £10,000 going to grassroots groups and charities across the UK doing great things to support their communities, during a particularly tough time.

We also distribute non-National Lottery funds, working closely with Government on funding for important issues, such as tackling loneliness, multiple and complex needs, mental health and distributing Dormant Accounts money.

Over the last five years we’ve awarded a total of £3.4 billion, of which £2.7 billion is National Lottery money.

We fund things that matter – whether helping communities respond positively to national, regional or local priorities, or helping the UK achieve its big social ambitions. Our grants range from £500 up to multi-million-pound programmes – supporting people and projects to do extraordinary things and bring great ideas for their community to life.

Based: Milton Keynes (Hybrid)

World Vision works with the most vulnerable children, so they’re empowered to overcome poverty and injustice, and experience fullness of life. Inspired by our Christian faith, we serve alongside children – of all faiths and none – through long-term development projects, emergency responses and advocacy in almost 100 countries.

With over 70 years of experience, our work with communities, donors, partners, and governments transforms lives and creates opportunities for better futures for vulnerable children – even in the toughest places.

Work for World Vision UK and you will be part of a truly global Partnership, building brighter futures for vulnerable children.

Job Purpose

Looking for a role where you can really cut your marketing teeth and make a difference?

We have an exciting opportunity for a Marketing Co-ordinator to join the Supporter Engagement team. In the team we love the fact that each day is different - from co-creating concepts, briefing, copywriting, and design, through to project and agency management, data selection, analysis and insight.

Within this role, you'll join a team of experienced marketeers and fundraisers to support the delivery of multi-channel fundraising campaigns to World Vision supporters that demonstrate the difference that they make.

Your day could include gathering content, proof reading, copywriting, handling data and admin support, so strong attention to detail and the ability to multi-task are key. There will also be the chance to manage day-to-day relationships with stakeholders so good relationship building skills are a must, as is the ability to articulate constructive feedback to external agencies.

With strong creativity and attention to detail, we are looking for someone who is excited by the bigger picture, but not daunted by the detail of getting the job done. Someone who can manage multiple projects, has great interpersonal skills and the initiative and drive to make the most of this opportunity. We are looking for a team-player with a can-do approach, someone who is equally at home taking the lead on their own projects, as supporting team members on others.

You will need to ensure our communications truly reflect World Vision’s mission and Christian ethos to our diverse supporter base. Further, you will have access to some of the best Direct Marketing training and thinking in the sector, all the while contributing to changing the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable children. So, if you believe you have the above qualities as well as a positive, solution-based approach, you could be our ideal candidate.

As an active Christian*, this role offers you the opportunity to integrate your Christian faith and be sensitive to its various expressions across cultures and denominations.

In addition to the salary offered, we offer good benefits including pension, generous holiday entitlement and free parking (MK only).

Through long-term development projects, emergency responses and advocacy we’ve helped bring lasting change to millions of children, over more than 60 years. And as a Christian organisation, everything we do is motivated by our faith as we strive to reflect God’s unconditional love.

Job Purpose

We are looking for an experienced brand manager that wants to use their experience to drive our communications and campaigns forwards and change children’s lives for the better.

The right person for this role will be an experienced brand leader, energised by the opportunity to bring a brand to life for both internal and external audiences. A powerful and engaging communicator, you will inspire each member of staff across the organisation to identify with our brand and apply it to their work.

A natural storyteller, you will understand how to develop and use our brand framework and content to engage a wide range of external audiences. You will have the ability to work with senior stakeholders to define the themes the organisation should be speaking about to demonstrate relevance and get cut through within the marketplace. This role requires you to influence teams across the organisation, aligning our communications across audiences to tell powerful and consistent stories about our work, including mass market, philanthropists, corporate and church partners and institutional donors.

As part of your remit, you will guide our Public Engagement teams in using powerful content across channels – in particular the digital space – to engage our mass market audiences and to help us stand out in a crowded marketplace. You will be agile and responsive, able to recognise relevant themes and opportunities coming from both our own research and the UK news agenda to strengthen our campaigns and drive awareness and engagement.

Being an inspiring people manager, you will be able to manage and empower a busy team of expert creatives in the production of the powerful copy, engaging design and fresh video content which fuels our external communications.

As an active Christian*, this role offers you the opportunity to integrate your Christian faith and be sensitive to its various expressions across cultures and denominations.

In addition to the salary offered, we offer good benefits including pension, generous holiday entitlement and free parking (MK only).
