As the largest funder for the UK’s heritage, our vision is for heritage to be valued, cared for and sustained for everyone, now and in the future.

We believe in the power of heritage to ignite the imagination, offer joy and inspiration, and to build pride in place and connection to past.  

Our mission is to use our expertise to support and champion the UK’s heritage and demonstrate the transformative potential of National Lottery funding through delivering our new strategy Heritage 2033. We ensure that money from The National Lottery makes a decisive difference for people, places and communities. 

We are currently recruiting for a full time Marketing and Communications Manager (Good Causes Summaries), on a fixed term contract (12 months) based in any of the Heritage Fund’s Offices in the following locations: Birmingham, Nottingham, Leeds and Manchester (Hybrid Working).  

The primary purpose of this post is to produce approximately 150 short, engaging Good Cause Summaries for a shared library of accurate, responsible and compelling case studies that will be used to show the impact of National Lottery Funding.  

You’ll manage the end-to-end process: researching funded projects, drafting and polishing concise copy to a defined tone of voice, coordinating reviews and approvals, managing consent and image permissions, and ensuring content is finalised and submitted in line with requirements.

You will write and edit content, manage revisions, liaise directly with grantees, including sourcing suitable images, and finalise approved content to submit to Allwyn. You will support the ongoing development and embedding of the Good Cause Summary system and process, including working with data colleagues, delivering training on the system and process and reporting functions, and providing updates or briefings to colleagues, including senior staff.

If you are excited about helping ensure that heritage is inclusive and accessible to everyone, for now and future generations, then we want to hear from you.
