Equity, Diversity and Inclusion 

 Communities in the UK come in all shapes and sizes. National Lottery funding is for everyone – therefore, we are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and we work hard to ensure our funding reaches where it is needed.  

We also believe our people should represent the communities, organisations and individuals we work with. That’s why The National Lottery Community Fund is committed to being an inclusive employer and a great place to work. We recognise and celebrate the fact that our people come from diverse backgrounds. We positively welcome applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities or longstanding health conditions, people who are LGBTQ+, and people from different socio-economic and educational backgrounds, as well as people of all ages. 

As a Disability Confident Employer, we take a proactive approach in making reasonable adjustments, if needed, throughout the recruitment process and during employment. (This can be related to a physical and mental health condition.) 

This vital role will shape and deliver our ambition to connect people with nature, inspire action, and build a movement for wildlife across Sussex. You will lead a dynamic directorate responsible for community engagement, education, volunteering, and individual action - ensuring our work is inclusive, impactful, and aligned with our organisational goals. As Director, you will provide strategic oversight of our communities work, contribute to cross-organisational leadership, and ensure effective collaboration with partners, funders, and stakeholders. You will be responsible for delivering strategic and organisational Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), ensuring that progress is effectively monitored, evaluated, and reported. A key responsibility is to lead our journey to becoming a more inclusive and diverse organisation by 2030. You will champion our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) strategy, embedding inclusive practices across programmes, partnerships, and internal culture. This is a rare opportunity to drive meaningful change at the intersection of nature, people, and equity.
