Job description

Community Impact Manager

London (with travel each week to London-based charities/partners and events)

About Us

Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales is an independent charitable foundation, backed by Lloyds Banking Group and the people within it. We want everyone to be in a good place - personally, in a home that’s a good place to live, and in a community that’s a good place to belong.

We play our role by connecting and catalysing community-led change, providing the money, time, tools and connections that build organisations’ capacity and capability, to make people’s lives better and their communities stronger.

We back people and communities across England and Wales, to make that happen, because when you back brilliant people, brilliant things happen. Our communities are full of ambitious, energetic and determined people stepping up to make their neighbours’ lives better and their communities grow stronger. Day in, day out.

We’re now looking for a Community Impact Manager to join us on a full-time, permanent basis. This role will require regular visits to our London office and occasional travel across England and Wales with overnight stays.

The Benefits

• Salary of £52,738 per annum
• Generous annual leave (25-30 days pa plus statutory days)
• Pension scheme (up to 13% contribution by the Foundation)
• Private medical insurance that includes dental, eye care and mental health
• Employee assistance programme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Volunteering opportunities (two days per year)

This is a meaningful opportunity for an experienced community development professional with strong partnership-building skills and a track record of supporting community-led organisations to join our purpose-driven organisation.

You’ll have the chance to stand alongside charities and community organisations as they grow stronger, more confident and better equipped to create lasting change.

What’s more, alongside a generous pension contribution, private medical cover and strong support for your wellbeing, this is a role where your work can strengthen communities for the long term.

The Role

As the Community Impact Manager, you will work with charities, community organisations and local partners to strengthen organisations and drive meaningful, community-led change.

You will manage a portfolio of funded organisations, providing tailored support and connecting them with funding, skills, volunteering and development opportunities to help build their capacity and resilience.

Building trusted relationships across communities and sectors, you will bring partners together, unlock opportunities for collaboration and ensure local insight and lived experience help shape our programmes and investment.

Additionally, you will:

• Identify potential applicants for funding and offer pre-application guidance
• Manage relationships with Development Partners
• Support place-based work in priority neighbourhoods
• Secure additional funding and resources for community priorities
• Represent us across local networks and partnerships
• Gather and share local insight, evidence and stories

About You

• Extensive experience of working alongside communities in ways that share power and lead to positive social change, gained through roles in the voluntary sector, local authorities, social enterprises or other community focused settings
• Experience supporting community led organisations and charities to build capability, confidence and organisational strength, including providing practical support, coaching or development guidance
• Strong partnership building and brokering skills
• Excellent facilitation, communication and influencing skills
• Confident and credible external representation skills
