Job description

Women’s Work is a National Award Winning Charity founded in 2003. We aim to deliver a holistic, person centred support service to vulnerable and disadvantaged women with complex health and social needs. We do this by ensuring they can access support, education and information to raise self-esteem and confidence, empowering them to make positive life choices resulting in improved health and wellbeing.

We are seeking a talented, motivated and highly organised Business Development Manager to join our Senior Management Team and play a key role in supporting the organisation’s growth, sustainability and financial resilience.

The Role

This is predominantly an office-based role working closely with the Finance Manager and under the guidance of the CEO, with a strong focus on:

  • Bid writing, tender submissions, commissioning applications and grant funding
  • Identifying, securing and managing new funding opportunities
  • Supporting financial planning, allocation to funded projects
  • Fundraising and promoting the charity in the local community

You will lead on the development and continuation of the project-specific funding, ensuring bids and applications align with Women’s Work’s strategic objectives and future expansion plans.

Working collaboratively with the Finance Manager, you will review funding streams, develop robust applications and contribute to the effective financial management of funded activities. You will liaise with businesses, statutory bodies, organisations, community groups and charities to identify and secure new income opportunities, partnerships and sponsorships.

Key Responsibilities

  • Research, identify and secure new funding opportunities, grants and tenders
  • Lead and co-ordinate high-quality bid writing, commissioning and tender submissions
  • Support the Finance Manager with funding reviews, budgets and financial monitoring
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with funders, partners and stakeholders
  • Contribute to organisational planning, sustainability and income diversification
  • Ensure funding requirements, reporting and compliance are met
  • Event planning/identify and co-ordinate fundraising opportunities

About You

The successful applicant will be self-motivated, detail-focused and high organized, with strong project management and communication skills. You will be able to work collaboratively while also managing competing priorities independently.

You will also be able to demonstrate:

  • Proven experience in bid writing, tenders and/or commissioning
  • A track record of pro-active business development, ideally within the charity or voluntary sector
  • Strong relationship-building skills across multiple sectors
  • Empathy and a clear commitment to Women’s Work values, aims and objectives

Additional Information
An Enhanced DBS check will be required.
