Senior Engagement Manager

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 Senior Engagement Manager on a permanent contract based in Edinburgh (Hybrid Working) but regular travel across Scotland is to be expected.
The primary purpose of this post is to work as part of the Engagement Team to manage and deliver engagement with stakeholders and potential applicants across Scotland to deliver Heritage 2033, Heritage Fund's 10 year strategy. This post will: stimulate and support the flow of good quality applications; work with stakeholders in organisations, agencies and local authorities; support our emerging work in our Heritage Places, and plan and implement outreach strategies targeted at Heritage 2033 priorities. The post will also contribute to the wider work of the Scotland team and Engagement function.
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.
For an informal conversation about the role, you can contact Megan Braithwaite, Head of Engagement, Scotland on megan.braithwaite@heritagefund.org.uk.
Applications close on 23 May 2024.
Interviews are expected to take place on 4 June 2024.

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.
