Are you ready to lead strategic bids that change lives?

We're working with a respected organisation in the social care sector that is on a mission to create opportunities for people with disabilities and autism to live the life they choose. They’re growing and they need a talented Bid Manager to help make it happen.

This is your chance to take ownership of complex, high-value tender projects that drive innovation, expand services, and deliver lasting social impact.

• Develop pricing strategies and guide costings to demonstrate value.
• Craft persuasive, evidence-based proposals that stand out from the competition.
• Collaborate across teams, motivating colleagues to meet deadlines and deliver excellence.
• Build a library of winning content and continuously improve bid processes.
• Use market intelligence and innovative tools (including AI) to keep ahead of the curve.

• Proven experience in bid or tender management, ideally within social care, community, or not-for-profit sectors.
• Strong knowledge of public sector procurement (local authority / NHS experience desirable).
• Exceptional writing and communication skills capable to turn insight into powerful narratives.
• Financial acumen, analytical ability, and robust project management skills.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach and the ability to thrive under deadlines.
• Passion for social impact and improving lives.

This isn’t just another bid management position – it’s an opportunity to lead strategically, innovate boldly, and directly contribute to life-changing work. You’ll have the autonomy to shape bid strategy while being part of a supportive, purpose-driven organisation.

As part of the Disability Confident Scheme, candidates who declare a disability and meet the essential criteria will be guaranteed an interview.
