As a modern mutual, social impact, community and inclusion are hardwired into our DNA. Working closely with our brilliant Social Impact and Inclusion Manager and wider Talent team you will support with the delivery of our internal and external social value programmes.
This primarily includes volunteering and charity fundraising; this is the bread and butter of this role, but you will also have the opportunity to work on broader initiatives such as supporting us to drive our exciting new ED&I agenda – you will build exceptional partnerships with local charities and non-profit organisations sourcing volunteering opportunities and mobilising internal requests from colleagues.
This role signals our commitment and investment in how we show up for our communities, which is at the core of what we stand for as a Building Society.
We’re looking for someone who is confident with technology and systems with the ability to build exceptional relationships internally and externally. Brilliant communication skills are a must! Most importantly, we want someone to join the team with bags of passion and energy behind the great causes we stand for.

- Manage the community impact budget administration including invoice management & processing of charitable donations.
- Manage the match funding process, including filing evidence of donations and processing payments.
- Support the ongoing relationship between NBS and Nottinghamshire Community Foundation, facilitators of the Samuel Fox Foundation.
- Contribute to our culture of learning and skill development within the team and stay informed about industry trends and best practice standards. You will keep an eye on the external market and introduce interesting concepts and ideas to the Society.
About you: –
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills; the ability to develop and sustain good relationships with both internal and external partners.
- You will be pro-active and organised with the ability to manage and plan your own time to deliver within deadlines and budgets.
- Passion for having a lasting, purposeful and positive impact on the communities we serve.
- Strong digital skills, able to maximise platforms, apps and automation to optimise engagement with volunteering and visibility of data and insights.
- Transferable experience within a CSR or similar social impact focused role.
