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, Culture, Talent and Inclusion, you will lead a dispersed team and be responsible for building an inclusive, future-ready workforce, ensuring that a diverse range of colleagues can join, grow and thrive while staying deeply connected to the communities we serve, our values and purpose. You will contribute to the development of the overarching People and Culture Strategy and lead the creation of underpinning strategies for your areas of responsibility.
Working closely with leaders, colleagues and recognised trade unions, you will ensure that development, inclusion and belonging are central to the way we operate. A key part of the role will be guiding the Fund through complex people challenges, strengthening organisational capability, and ensuring that systems, processes and structures enable colleagues to do their best work in an equitable and values-aligned way.
