This work is delivered alongside the leading health education programme for children in the UK and national specialist advice services.
About the role
The main purpose of this role is to secure and steward grants up to six-figures from trusts and foundations from a portfolio of existing donors; and to grow this area by securing new and multi-year support. Another aspect of the role will be to build up a portfolio of case stories from beneficiaries which can be used across the organisation.
Coram’s Fundraising team works to raise £3-4million for the charity each year and has just finished a £9.2m capital appeal to develop a national centre of excellence for children, ‘The Queen Elizabeth II Centre' on our regenerated, historic 3.5 acre Coram campus.T
We are looking for an exceptional bid writer who is also comfortable meeting with beneficiaries and compiling case stories. Your success as an income generator will be matched by the flexibility you bring to your work. You will also be a team player who is keen to learn from senior colleagues and share with those more junior than you. Coram is a complex and interesting organisation, so you will be eager to seek out the information you need and delve into the detail. Above all, your belief in giving children the best start in life will come across in the way to work with colleagues, prospects and funders alike.
Coram is based on our Bloomsbury campus, between Holborn and Kings Cross in central London.

Proposal & Bid Manager
Monument, London
£41,000 - £45,000 per annum
This is an exceptional opportunity for a strategic bid manager who can lead and execute high-value proposals of £100,000 and above. Our goal is to transform the lives of children around the world. Your goal will be shape and drive fundraising across process, practice and performance.
Lumos is an international non-governmental, non-profit organisation founded by J.K. Rowling. Our vision is of a world where all children have the opportunity to grow up and thrive in loving, nurturing, protective families. We believe that children belong in families not orphanages and we aim to achieve our vision by 2050. We will do this by casting light onto the causes of institutionalisation and producing high-quality, compelling evidence of our long term, sustainable solutions.
The challenge, of course, is to maintain our momentum through funding and donations. As our Proposal & Bid Manager, you will lead the development of high-quality, bespoke and engaging proposals for trusts and foundations, corporates, philanthropic and institutional donors. This is very much an insight-led approach. You will research opportunities, plan strategy, then write and lead on the production of a wide range of complex, multi-thematic, global and multi-regional proposals. Through a commitment to continuous improvement, you will build on best practice and liaise with senior management to advise on the internal systems, policies and processes required to develop the team and deliver success. You will also work closely with the Head of Grants to identify and capitalise on new opportunities.
For us, this is certainly a role where you can lead, drive insight, shape ways of working and think creatively about how you grow our success. So it demands a very clear skill set. A proven track record of leading a high-performance team in the development and delivery of high-value proposals is absolutely vital. You must have the vision and strategic capability to understand complexity, identify opportunities and build out the systems and frameworks needed to improve performance in bidding and reporting. A strongly entrepreneurial approach to fundraising is important, supported by real initiative, drive and independence. An understanding of child’s rights and deinstitutionalisation programmes would be ideal.
WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU:
- Exceptional location in the City
- 25 days of paid holidays
- Enhanced maternity leave
- Life Assurance and Pension Scheme
- Cycle to Work Scheme (and bike storage at the office)
- Season ticket loan scheme and Childcare Vouchers
- Dynamic, interesting environment
- Regular staff social events and activities
Bring your leadership skills to a role where they can make a difference to children’s lives globally.
