Job description

At Betknowmore UK, we work to prevent and reduce gambling-related harm through support, education, training and community engagement, embracing the insight and knowledge of 'Experts by Experience' alongside evidence-based approaches. As our Grants, Contracts and Commissioning Lead, you'll grow our income from two connected routes: grants from charitable trusts and foundations, and statutory and commissioned income secured through contracts, tenders and procurement. You'll be expected to at least sustain our current grants and contracts turnover, with real ambition to grow it by a further 10-20%.

This newly created role owns the full grants and contracts cycle — identifying opportunities, managing the pipeline, project-managing complex bids and writing tailored, persuasive applications. You'll be well supported: subject matter experts across the organisation will provide technical content for bids, budgets are prepared alongside finance, and our CEO and directors front the most senior funder relationships.

What you'll be doing

  • Delivering a pipeline of high-quality grant and statutory/commissioned bids to meet agreed income targets, prioritising by value, likelihood and strategic fit
  • Researching and identifying trust and foundation funding opportunities, and writing compelling, tailored proposals drawing on our impact data and stories
  • Developing income from government, health and other commissioning bodies, including preparing and submitting tenders and procurement responses such as ITTs and PQQs
  • Monitoring funding trends and emerging opportunities, including the developing commissioning landscape under the statutory gambling levy
  • Building and maintaining positive relationships with funders, and developing stewardship plans to maximise engagement and retention
  • Project-managing complex, multi-stage bids: planning timelines, coordinating stakeholders and turning colleagues' technical input into funder-ready copy
  • Maintaining accurate pipeline and reporting records, and tracking progress against income targets
  • Contributing to annual planning, budgeting and our wider income-generation strategy

What we're looking for

We're interested in hearing from candidates who have:

  • A proven track record of securing significant and/or multi-year income from trusts, foundations or statutory funders
  • Exceptional bid-writing skills: clear, persuasive, carefully edited proposals tailored to different funder audiences
  • Experience project-managing complex bids, coordinating stakeholders and gathering technical content through multi-stage application processes
  • An understanding of statutory funding and commissioning processes, including tendering and procurement routes such as ITTs and PQQs
  • Excellent relationship management with funders or external stakeholders
  • Strong numeracy and experience preparing budgets for funders
  • Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities
  • Knowledge of the gambling harms, addiction, health or social welfare sectors would be advantageous, as would experience working in a small or growing charity, familiarity with CRM and fundraising databases, and experience contributing to a wider income-generation strategy.

Why join us?

You'll be joining a growing, ambitious charity making a real difference to people's lives. This is a rare chance to shape a brand-new role, own the full grants and contracts cycle from the ground up, and directly grow the income that funds our support for people affected by gambling harm.

Application Instructions
