Grants and Trusts Officer

English Heritage tells the stories of England through the 420 sites and 500,000 paintings and artefacts in our care. From Stonehenge to Hadrian's Wall, Dover Castle to Iron Bridge, our sites span some six millennia and are visited by more than 10 million people each year. We need you to join us and help deliver what will be one of the most ambitious fundraising initiatives ever undertaken by a heritage organisation in the UK.

The Grants and Trusts Officer will support the Grants and Trusts Managers and Head of Grants and Trusts in the preparation of applications to trusts and foundations and bids to the Heritage Lottery Fund and other statutory funders.

The postholder will also have responsibility for your own prospect portfolio and will lead on a range of small projects; from research and expression of interest to grant application, delivery and stewardship. Based in our central London office, you will have the opportunity to travel regularly to historic sites across the country, working with talented and passionate colleagues in our curatorial and historic properties teams.

To be successful in this role you must have excellent attention to detail, experience of working in a fundraising team and a demonstrable track record of making successful fundraising applications.

English Heritage offers a broad benefits package which includes a generous pension scheme and 25 days annual leave, alongside the opportunity to take advantage of well-being benefits and discounts, including free access to all English Heritage sites.
