At the National Trust (NT) we raise funds in all kinds of innovative ways - from National Lottery Heritage Fund multi-million-pound grants, to strong commercial partnerships and people-powered campaigns.

Joining us as a National Grants Officer, you’ll support fundraising for our highest priority projects from statutory and lottery grants.

What it's like to work here:We’re bigger than you think, we’re more complicated than we appear and we’re larger scale than you’d imagine. We’ve got passionate people in all our teams, and we’ve got so much more we want to achieve. We’re for everyone, for ever and we really mean that.

Within the fundraising family, our job is to inspire individuals, grant makers, trusts, and companies to support the Trust in our mission to ensure that nature, beauty and history are there for all to enjoy.

Your contractual location will be our head office in Swindon and there will be an expectation for you to attend the office. However, there is flexibility on where you are based at other times. You will be required to work at a National Trust location for 40-60% of your working week. This will be discussed in more detail at interview.

You’ll be sharing and researching information, supporting and leading on bids, nurturing relationships with key funders, and supporting the grants team plan.
