About us

City Bridge Foundation is a charity set up around 900 years ago for the maintenance of the old London Bridge. Through bridge tolls, rents, bequests and charitable donations, along with sensible investment and management, the fund has grown over the years and now has total assets of around £1.6 billion.

Our primary aim remains to maintain our five bridges – Tower, London, Southwark, Millennium and Blackfriars bridges – but since 1995 we have also used surplus funds to award grants to charitable organisations across Greater London.

We currently award over £30 million to charities across the capital and have made a further £200 million available in the five years to 2026 to support London’s charity sector.

City Bridge Foundation is the working name of the historic Bridge House Estates. From 1995 to September 2023 our charity funding team was known as City Bridge Trust. In September 2023, our bridges and charity funding teams were brought together under a new name – City Bridge Foundation.

Our sole trustee is the City of London Corporation – the governing body for the Square Mile. Members of the Court of Common Council – the City Corporation’s primary decision-making body – form the City Bridge Foundation Board which governs our activities.

Job Summary

We are looking for a new Policy & Projects Officer in the Strategy and Governance Team to support the charity to deliver its strategic goals and drive transformation!

The role of the Strategy and Governance Team is to work collaboratively across the whole charity to help set and deliver high impact strategies, policies and projects and to role-model good governance. The team supports the charity to deliver change in a consistent and values-driven way through four functional areas: strategy, policy and projects; planning and performance; culture and values; and governance.

As part of a team of Policy & Projects Officers, you will be responsible for contributing to the implementation of transformative initiatives that align with the charity’s strategy ‘Bridging London 2020 – 2045’.

As an ambitious strategic thinker, you will provide assurance to the Head of Strategy & Governance that City Bridge Foundation’s strategic aims and priorities are properly reflected in all strategies, policies and plans, particularly through engaging with staff at all levels to ensure they are aware of and understand that charity’s priorities.
