Sure Will Writer jobs

The purpose of Bids and Tenders Writer is to secure and steward income for Llamau through grants and contracts linked to set targets, objectives and organisational strategies. This includes the identification and development of opportunities and plans in partnership with colleagues in the Business Development function within the wider Fundraising and Communications team, alongside operational, financial and strategic leads across the charity.

The Bids and Tenders Writer is responsible for leading the development, coordination and submission of high-quality bids, tenders and related reports for the organisation to deliver its wide range of services and activities across Wales. The role flexibly covers engagement with both statutory (e.g. local authorities/Welsh Government) and voluntary funding bodies (e.g. trusts and foundations), working with internal stakeholders to both develop new business opportunities and ensure ongoing successful stewardship and retention of existing income and relationships. This includes current grant-based income and a significant number of contracted services in Wales covering housing related support, early intervention/prevention, employability programmes, domestic abuse services and bespoke enhanced services/activities. Success in this role will be measured through the quality, competitiveness and success rate of submissions, alongside the effective stewardship and retention of income.

At Llamau we believe that no young person or vulnerable woman should ever have to experience homelessness. Our mission is to eradicate homelessness for young people and vulnerable women. But for thousands of the most vulnerable people in Wales, homelessness is a frightening reality.

30 years ago Llamau was founded to provide homeless teenagers with a safe place to stay. Since then, we have supported over 67,000 young people, women and their children who are either homeless or facing homelessness.

Many people think the job of a homelessness charity will be to provide accommodation - a safe place to stay. But it is very clear to us that for most people who are facing homelessness, their problems are far more complex than a lack of permanent shelter.

That's why we treat everyone who needs our support as an individual. We recognise their unique strengths and needs and make sure that they are supported to rebuild their futures.
