Legal Adviser, The National Lottery Heritage Fund

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 Legal Adviser on a permanent contract based in our Manchester or London Office (Hybrid Working).

The primary purpose of this post is to work with the legal team to support the continued development of a highly respected, professional legal service. The In-House Solicitors, Legal Adviser, Paralegal and Office Coordinators support all grant giving, corporate, regulatory and governance activities.

This is an exciting role with opportunities to develop skills and experience by working under supervision of the Director of Legal and Governance or one of the senior solicitors on more complex grant projects and larger more strategic projects.

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 23 November 2025.
• Interviews are expected to take place on 8 December 2025.
