National Lottery Community Fund
Hybrid, with regular national travel
£72,625 - £80,000 per annum on a full-time permanent basis
The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest community funder in the UK. Each year we distribute hundreds of millions of pounds raised by National Lottery players to support people and communities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Our purpose is simple: to support communities to thrive. We do this by funding organisations and initiatives that strengthen connections between people, improve wellbeing, and help communities come together to shape their own futures.
Our current strategy, It Starts with Community, reflects our belief that the best ideas and solutions come from communities themselves. Through our funding we support people to build strong relationships, take action on the issues that matter most to them, and create lasting change where they live.
THE ROLE
As Deputy Director, People Organisation Development & Change, you will lead key areas including HR business partnering, people operations, organisation development and workforce planning, helping to shape the organisation we need to deliver our strategy. You will work closely with leaders across the Fund to ensure that change is well designed, well-paced and grounded in the experiences of our colleagues.
A key part of the role will be bringing clarity and confidence through periods of transformation. You will help leaders navigate complexity, strengthen organisational capability and ensure that our systems, processes and structures support colleagues to do their best work. At the same time, you will ensure that our approach to change remains compassionate, inclusive and aligned with our values.
