The National Lottery Heritage Fund

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 Investment Manager on a fixed term contract until 9 June 2027 (Adoption Leave Cover) based in any of the Heritage Fund's Offices in the Midlands and East - Birmingham, Cambridge or Nottingham (Hybrid Working).

The primary purpose of this post is to work as part of the Midlands and East Investment Team, working inclusively and collaborative to deliver ambitious projects to meet our Heritage 2033 Strategy. The role includes providing advice and guidance to applicants; assessing and monitoring a wide range of applications/projects; post completion work and occasional participation in outreach activities.

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.
