Day-to-day operating brief

What Grants Officer (HLF) work looks like in practice

A Heritage Grants Officer develops, assesses or manages funded projects, including programmes associated with heritage lottery funding or other grant makers. Terms should specify whether the role acts for applicant or funder, and cover eligibility, applications, budgets, match funding, procurement, milestones, claims, outcomes, evaluation, conflicts and clawback. The officer should not promise awards, hide conflicts or describe spending as eligible without the supporting programme rules and evidence. Monitoring should compare approved outputs, timetable, costs and public benefit with current delivery, recording why changes remain consistent with the award purpose. Payment evidence must distinguish committed, invoiced and actually paid expenditure, while volunteer time and match funding require the valuation method specified by the programme. Monitoring should reconcile funded outputs, procurement evidence and eligible expenditure with the approved timetable. Proposed variations need recording before funds are redirected, particularly when a delay changes community participation or match-funding commitments.
