About Us
The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest funder of community activity in the UK - we’re proud to award money raised by players of The National Lottery to communities across the UK.
At the heart of everything we do is the belief that when people are in the lead, communities thrive. National Lottery funding is open to everyone and we’re privileged to be able to work with the smallest of grassroots groups right up to large UK-wide charities and community groups.
We support a wide range of projects with grants ranging from as little as £500 to multi-million-pound programmes.
Last year alone we gave out over half a billion pounds (£588.2 million) of National Lottery funding to over 14,000 community projects across the UK, enabling even more people and communities to bring their ideas and ambitions to life. Over eight in ten (83%) of our grants were for less than £10k, going to grassroots groups and charities.
We are here to support people and communities through bad times as well as good – and that has never been so important as this year. Thanks to National Lottery players, we’ve been able to respond quickly and positively to communities working hard to mitigate the impact of COVID-19. Their efforts have been humbling and inspiring and we’re delighted to have been able to help by distributing over £400 million pounds in National Lottery funding alone across the UK since the first lockdown began in March 2020.

Our Funding Strategy Directorate and Policy & Practice Team
The National Lottery Community Fund manages five distinct funding portfolios: the UK portfolio which supports work that spans the four countries; the Wales portfolio; the Scotland portfolio; the NI portfolio and the England portfolio.
Our newly-established Funding Strategy Directorate sits across these portfolios. The Directorate is a central enabling and generative function that supports the development, innovation and delivery of our funding. It does this through the provision of systems, policies, frameworks, guidance and other services to our funding teams, driving forward innovation and best practice. It provides consistency and clarity of purpose across our funding, whilst still allowing our funding portfolios the flexibility and autonomy to make funding decisions appropriate for their specific working context.
The Senior Funding Policy and Practice Manager role is housed in the Policy and Practice Team within the Funding Strategy Directorate. The team is responsible for ensuring our Fund-wide funding policy and internal practice enables funding to make the greatest possible difference to communities, whilst recognising the wider regulatory and strategic considerations associated with the distribution of public money.
Working with the Senior Head of Controls, Policy and Practice, you will play a key role in developing our Fund-wide funding policy and practice. You will work with internal and external stakeholders to ensure that our funding policies, which set the direction on who we fund, what we fund and how we fund, are fit for purpose. A key part of this will be ensuring that our funding policy and practice is “for everyone”: we’re looking for someone who recognises that our commitment to equity and fairness in our grant making should not just ‘sit next to’ our funding policy, but instead ‘flow through it’.
You will recognise the importance of innovation in policy and practice, and have an eye for identifying internal and external insight that has the potential to inform our policy and practice direction. You will be well-connected internally and also hold some key external relationships. You will collaborate with these individuals to formulate well-considered policies that are aligned with our strategic ambitions.
The right person for this role flourishes in complexity and relishes the challenges of finding the best path through overlapping and often competing agendas. They are adept at managing a diverse and ever-changing workload, and setting their own priorities in response to insights from a wide variety of sources, including our grant-holders, staff, our senior management team, and external stakeholders.
Critically, you will recognise that decisions and intentions only have an impact if they are acted upon, so you will work internally to ensure that our policy and practice is effectively operationalised.
If you would like an informal conversation about this role, please contact Jenny Rouse, Senior Heads of Controls, Policy and Practice Jennifer.rouse@tnlcommunityfund.org.uk
Location: Multiple locations considered. Flexible on visiting the office twice per month / when necessary
Interview Date: Tuesday 17th August, with potential second interview
As an experienced senior leader, you may, or may not come from a funding background but are likely to have significant experience working with mission-driven organisations. You will be a confident and clear communicator. Critically, you will be committed to turning strategic intention into everyday practice.
Specifically, you’ll need to have examples that demonstrate your experience, qualifications and mindset in these areas:
Ein Cyfarwyddiaeth Ariannu a’r Tîm Polisi & Ymarfer
Mae Cronfa Gymunedol y Loteri Genedlaethol yn rheoli pum portffolio ariannu penodol: portffolio'r DU sy'n cefnogi gwaith sy'n rhychwantu'r pedair gwlad; portffolio Cymru; portffolio'r Alban; portffolio Gogledd Iwerddon a phortffolio Lloegr.

Gan weithio gyda'r Uwch Bennaeth Rheolaethau, Polisi ac Ymarfer, byddwch yn chwarae rhan allweddol wrth ddatblygu ein polisi a'n harferion ariannu ar draws y Gronfa. Byddwch yn gweithio gyda budd-ddeiliaid mewnol ac allanol i sicrhau bod ein polisïau ariannu, sy'n gosod y cyfeiriad ar bwy yr ydym yn ei ariannu, yr hyn yr ydym yn ei ariannu a sut yr ydym yn ei ariannu, yn addas i'r diben. Rhan allweddol o hyn fydd sicrhau bod ein polisi ariannu a'n harfer "i bawb": rydym yn chwilio am rywun sy'n cydnabod y dylai ein hymrwymiad i gydarddoldeb a thegwch wrth wneud grantiau, nid yn unig 'eistedd wrth ymyl' ein polisi ariannu, ond yn hytrach 'lifo drwyddo'.
Byddwch yn cydnabod pwysigrwydd arloesi ym maes polisi ac yn ymarferol, a bydd gennych lygad am adnabod mewnwelediad mewnol ac allanol sydd â'r potensial i lywio cyfeiriad ein polisi ac ymarfer. Bydd gennych gysylltiadau da yn fewnol a bydd gennych rai perthnasoedd allanol allweddol hefyd. Byddwch yn cydweithio â'r unigolion hyn i lunio polisïau ystyriol sy'n cyd-fynd â'n huchelgeisiau strategol.
Bydd y person cywir ar gyfer y rôl hon yn ffynnu pan fydd cymhlethdod ac yn mwynhau'r heriau o ddod o hyd i'r llwybr gorau drwy agendâu sy'n gorgyffwrdd ac sy'n aml yn cystadlu. Maent yn fedrus wrth reoli llwyth gwaith amrywiol sy'n newid yn barhaus, ac yn pennu eu blaenoriaethau eu hunain mewn ymateb i fewnwelediadau o amrywiaeth eang o ffynonellau, gan gynnwys ein deiliaid grantiau, staff, ein huwch dîm rheoli, a budd-ddeiliaid allanol.
Yn hollbwysig, byddwch yn cydnabod mai dim ond os gweithredir arnynt y caiff penderfyniadau a bwriadau effaith, felly byddwch yn gweithio'n fewnol i sicrhau bod ein polisi a'n harfer yn cael eu gweithredu'n effeithiol.

We are looking for someone friendly and organised to join our team as a Business Support Assistant. Your main role will be to support community groups and charities who call or email us with questions about applying for National Lottery funding. You will have excellent customer service skills and be able to communicate effectively in Welsh and English.
You will be part of a team of three people who are the first point of contact for our customers. You’ll be expected to tell them about our grant programmes, help them with any technical problems and signpost them to their local Funding Officer at The National Lottery Community Fund.
The Business Support Team has been in place for less than a year. You will have the opportunity to work with the team and team leader to continuously find ways to ensure that as a team, you’re working effectively and giving the best possible service.
You don’t need to be an expert in National Lottery funding to apply. We’re looking for someone who enjoys helping others, is interested in the voluntary and charity sector, and is ready to learn. We will provide training and support to help you in your role, and you’ll be expected to be proactive in continuously learning and increasing your knowledge.
You will need to be flexible in how you work, providing administrative support to a range of staff and teams at all levels across the organisation. From booking meetings, sending emails and gathering data, you’ll be asked to support with a range of tasks that will help the organisation to work effectively and efficiently.

The overall purpose of the Portfolio Officer is to support the delivery of a range of funding programmes that aim to address long-term social issues and improve quality of life across the UK.
You will work across the whole lifecycle of grant-making (design and pre-application, assessment, decision making and grant management), placing the customer at the heart of what we do.
As a natural self-starter and organised person, you will be comfortable working at pace and able to use your initiative to complete given tasks. Bringing strong relationship building skills and experience to help identify communities, relationships and connections that will help us achieve the aims of our programmes.
As part of your role, you will work closely with customers to capture and understand their ideas, strategic approach, delivery plans and the potential of their ideas to deliver system change and benefit people and communities across the UK. You will spend time having in-depth conversations with applicants, their stakeholders, beneficiaries and the broader sector in your effort to understand their wider ecosystem, barriers and opportunities.
You will write thorough progress and assessment reports for the UK Funding Committee and Panel to update them on the progress of our work and seek strategic input or to provide them with evidence-based recommendations on how proposals fit with the Fund’s strategic objectives, enabling them to make fair and informed decisions.
You will develop relationships with funding teams and other colleagues across our four Directorates and proactively create opportunities for exchange of learning and best practice. You will also reach out to them to seek advice on their local context.
You’ll use a variety of communication channels and tools to share learning internally and externally promoting learning through networks and platforms. You will be curious and excited about innovation in funding, and you will participate and contribute in peer review meetings driving discussion, debate and challenge.
You will identify opportunities for developing our pipeline, linking up with what is happening and making connections between similar initiatives within the Fund and externally by actively participating in networks, events etc.
You may need to travel from time to time for this role (when travel is more possible), supporting colleagues and communities across the UK as we develop and deliver their programme.
