The National Lottery Heritage Fund is the largest funder for the UK’s heritage, with a vision 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 the 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 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.
Applications close on 20 May 2026. Interviews are expected to take place on 8 June 2026.

Flexible Working
The National Lottery Heritage Fund has offices all over the UK and we champion a flexible approach to working where this supports our business needs. We have formally adopted a hybrid working approach. This means that most employees will work from their contracted Heritage Fund office twice a week at minimum. Time spent on site visits to projects or other meetings based at another Heritage Fund or external office are counted as part of those two days. The other days in the week employees may work from home.
Disability Confident Employer
We guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum essential criteria for every vacancy. We always endeavour to make reasonable adjustments and special requirements can be discussed and arranged before an interview. The National Lottery Heritage Fund pledges to provide an inclusive working and learning environment for our people which prioritises fairness, equality, diversity and inclusion as well as dignity and respect for all. We will create a workspace where intimidation, discrimination, harassment, bullying and victimisation are not tolerated and actively prevented and opposed.
