Funding and Compliance Officer

As Funding and Compliance Officer, you will play a key role in managing the full funding lifecycle, from assessing applications through to completion. You will review funding applications, undertake due diligence and present clear, well-evidenced funding recommendations to inform decision-making.

Working closely with applicants, grant holders, Lloyds Banking Group colleagues and external partners, you will build strong, trusted relationships while providing a responsive and professional service throughout the funding process. You will also ensure accurate administration and reporting through Salesforce, supporting high-quality data and insight across the Foundation.

Alongside this, you will support safeguarding, risk and wider compliance activity, helping to maintain strong governance and regulatory standards. You will also contribute to improving how we work, using feedback and insight to enhance processes and practice across the team.

You bring experience of grant-making or grant management, including assessment, compliance, contract management and reporting, ideally with exposure to safeguarding within a funding environment. You are confident applying criteria consistently and using sound judgement to inform decisions.

You take ownership of your work, following through on commitments and delivering high-quality outcomes. You have a collaborative, relational style and enjoy building positive, productive relationships with colleagues and stakeholders.

You demonstrate a clear commitment to the Foundation's values - bold, inclusive, relational and can-do. A strong commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging for all in your work and approach is essential.

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.
