About Lloyds Bank Foundation
Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales is an independent charitable foundation, backed by Lloyds Banking Group and the people within it. We want everyone to be in a good place - personally, in a home that’s a good place to live, and in a community that’s a good place to belong.
We play our role by connecting and catalysing community-led change, providing the money, time, tools and connections that build organisations’ capacity and capability, to make people’s lives better and their communities stronger.
We back people and communities across England and Wales, to make that happen, because when you back brilliant people, brilliant things happen. Our communities are full of ambitious, energetic and determined people stepping up to make their neighbours’ lives better and their communities grow stronger. Day in, day out.
About the Role
This is an exciting leadership opportunity to shape and lead the Foundation’s national public affairs and influencing work during a period of maternity cover, maintaining momentum and driving meaningful change in policy and practice.
As Head of Public Affairs, you will set direction for influencing activity across England and Wales, ensuring it is aligned to organisational priorities and continues to deliver impact. You will lead engagement with senior policymakers and political processes, acting as a credible and visible representative of the Foundation.
Working closely with colleagues, you will ensure that influencing activity remains informed by local insight and translated into clear national priorities. You will also contribute to organisational leadership, supporting strategic direction while leading a high-performing public affairs team through this period.
About You
We’re looking for an experienced and credible leader with a strong background in public affairs, policy, or influencing. You will bring a track record of delivering impact at national or regional level, alongside a strong understanding of the UK political landscape.
You will combine strategic thinking with practical delivery, with excellent relationship-building skills and experience of engaging senior stakeholders. You will be confident providing leadership and continuity in a fixed-term role. A commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging is essential.

We’re looking for a Communications Officer with experience in marketing and communications who will be part of a high-paced communications team working to engage with Christians and churches in London and beyond.
The successful candidate will:
Oversee the full production cycle of the quarterly Together prayer guide
- Together is LCM’s quarterly prayer guide, sent to thousands of supporters and used daily within the mission. It is a key point of connection between supporters and missionaries, shaping how people pray for gospel work across London.
Plan and oversee the weekly LCM online prayer meetings
- Every Tuesday evening, supporters from across the UK and beyond meet on Zoom to hear from a missionary and pray for gospel work. These online meetings have become a valued community, especially for those who cannot easily meet missionaries in person.
Support missionaries in engaging their supporters more effectively
- Missionaries rely on communities of Christians who pray, encourage, and give. Their LCM web pages help supporters understand their ministry and stay connected. The Communications Officer helps ensure these profiles are compelling, accurate, and regularly refreshed, supporting missionaries in presenting their work clearly and confidently.
Create fresh content for LCM’s communications channels
- LCM provides practical, frontline insights to equip Christians in sharing their faith, especially with marginalised communities. Throughout the year, the Communications Officer contributes written content — producing blogs, stories, and practical guidance that support and encourage believers, alongside social media content that helps extend reach.
Lead occasional cross team communications projects
- The Communications Team supports the wider organisation, regularly producing promotional materials for teams such as Training, Church Partnerships, and Supporter Partnerships.
Contribute creative ideas to shape communications and marketing content
- The Communications and Marketing Team is collaborative, creative, and committed to inspiring Christians across the UK! The Communications Officer contributes actively to idea generation — taking part in brainstorms, workshops, and planning sessions to help develop fresh, engaging approaches for external audiences.
The successful candidate will be a committed, prayerful evangelical Christian, with:
- At least 2 years' experience in a communications or marketing role (ideally with churches or church-based charities), delivering a range of integrated marketing and communications activities to engage different audiences.
- Strong grasp of branding principles and techniques and how to apply these in communications and marketing work.
- Ability to work proactively using own initiative, prioritise work and meet deadlines, with well-developed time management skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the proven ability to write and produce engaging communications for a range of channels and audiences.
- Experience of evaluating communications or marketing activities.
- Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to build relationships and communicate with a wide range of people.
- Flexible approach and skilled at working in a fast-paced environment and juggling multiple priorities.
- Creative and innovative approach to communication combined with clear focus on delivering quality work to time and budget that is right first time.
- A good understanding and experience with using Adobe Creative Cloud and other creative & design platforms.
Desirable
- Educated to degree level or equivalent qualification
- Marketing qualification (CIM or equivalent)
- Experienced with photography and videography
This is a part-time role (0.4 FTE) with an expectation to work 2 days per week (16 hours per week), and a minimum of 1-day in the office per week. The position is a maternity cover position and will be offered on the basis of a 12-month fixed-tern contract.
If you possess this gifting and skills mix and have a strong desire to contribute to the London City Mission’s gospel outreach to those who are least likely to hear about Jesus in London, then we encourage you to apply.
There is an occupational requirement that the person appointed be an evangelical Christian.
