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 Chief of Staff on a fixed term contract for 12 months (Maternity Cover) based in our London Office (Hybrid Working). This role can be undertaken as a Secondment opportunity, subject to our agreement with your current employer.
This key role reports to and works closely with the CEO to ensure best use of their time, supporting them to provide direction to the Heritage Fund and the effective delivery of the Heritage Fund’s objectives. You will work closely with the Executive Team and senior management across the organisation to drive forward key activities. You will manage the CEO’s office, including the Executive Assistant who provides administrative support to the CEO and Chair. It is a fast-paced environment and the post holder will need to work autonomously and adapt to meet changing priorities. You will be trusted to make decisions and will attend meetings with and on behalf of the CEO. This role provides an opportunity to gain a real insight into the operation of a major lottery and government funding delivery organisation. It includes working closely with DCMS and other government departments as well as other lottery distributors and industry stakeholders.
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 4 February 2026.
First Stage Interviews are expected to take place on 18 February 2026.
Our Values
Our Values and Behaviours sit at the heart of our work and are central to how we recruit. How you demonstrate our Values is just as important to us as your skills and experience.
Inclusive of all aspects of heritage, people and communities
Ambitious for our people, communities and heritage
Collaborative by working and learning together
Trusted for our integrity, expertise and judgement
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.
