Job description

The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest community funder in the UK. We distribute over £600m a year to communities across the UK, raised by players of the National Lottery.

We support people and communities to prosper and thrive. We fund the things that matter to communities and, in a typical year, our grant holders collectively support around 5.2 million beneficiaries. We reach every parliamentary constituency in the UK and over 90% of all wards.

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.

Social connections and community activities are at the heart of creating healthier, happier lives and a flourishing society. That’s why through The National Lottery Community Fund Strategy 2023-2030 we’re looking to make a bigger difference in the years ahead, by listening and responding to communities and by focusing on supporting bolder change.

Thanks to National Lottery players, we plan to distribute at least £4 billion of funding by 2030. Supporting projects that will create resilient communities that are more inclusive and environmentally sustainable. Projects that will strengthen society and improve lives across the UK.

We are looking to recruit a Funding Officer to join the London, Southeast and East Team, working in the North and West London area.

  • As a funding officer you will assess requests for funding and work together with colleagues to make funding decisions.  
  • By working closely with people and communities from a defined geographical area, you will understand what matters to them and where our funding can make the biggest difference.
  • You will manage grants using local knowledge, best practice, thematic expertise, and the experience of customers and stakeholders to improve our grant making and inform our decision making.
  • Being responsible for supporting local people and communities you will have a strong understanding of our vision, our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion and our funding products. You’ll also need to support our stakeholders, helping them to make connections that will help them achieve their goals.
  • Being responsible for the pipeline of projects you will need to understand and respond to the different needs of our customers by providing support and considered feedback and be willing to have challenging but constructive conversations.
  • As Funding Officer, you will ensure our grant management and assessment play an effective part in contributing to the Fund’s knowledge and learning as a grant maker.
  • You will manage your own caseload, liaise with grant recipients, undertake project visits, identify, and manage risk and support organisations to deliver their projects and measure their impact.
  • You’ll also need to work within the Fund’s policies and procedures and the necessary legislation, and in a way that is in line with our vision and principles.
  • You will work with stakeholders at different levels, represent the Fund within your local area including at funding fairs and external meetings and create opportunities for people to come together. You will share learning from your conversations, events, grant holder reports and evaluations with other colleagues so that we can maximise our impact.

Team Composition: You’ll be part of a team, led by a Funding Manager, and comprised of several other Funding Officers.
