Equality Statement

Quilombo UK is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse environment. We promote equal opportunities in line with the Equality Act 2010. Discrimination of any kind will not be tolerated, and we encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds.

Join the UK’s first-ever purpose-driven travel Host Agency officially incorporated as a CIC. Use your grant writing expertise to secure the funding that empowers marginalised entrepreneurs, builds schools, and defends endangered environments.
 

About Us
We are disruptors, not traditional philanthropists. We believe that relying solely on charity can strip vulnerable communities of their agency, which is why we use mainstream travel as a powerful commercial engine for self-sustaining global good.
 

We operate a highly scalable dual-model: an inclusive B2B business incubator for underrepresented UK travel entrepreneurs, and our flagship B2C retail brand, 'Yule Travel'. What makes us radically different is our legal structure. 100% of our retained corporate profits are legally locked to our social mission. Every holiday booked through our network actively funds our "Four Pillars of Change" directly in developing destinations, such as our flagship "Made From The Mekong" plastic-upcycling and digital literacy project.
 

The Role
While our commercial travel sales actively fund our ongoing social operations, we are seeking a highly strategic Grants & Bid Writer to spearhead our "Funding Arm". You will help us scale our impact rapidly by securing external social enterprise grants and tech-scale-up funds.
 

You will be responsible for:
 

• Strategic Bid Writing: Translating our complex dual-impact model into compelling, high-converting grant applications.
   

• Funding the Future: Securing capital to fund our core operational expansions, such as acquiring further license to massively increase our charitable profit margins, and scaling our on-the-ground initiatives in Southeast Asia.
   

• Partnership Sourcing: Identifying new Trusts, Foundations, and Corporate CSR partners whose values align with our radical transparency and anti-greenwashing ethos.
   

• Pipeline Management: Tracking application deadlines and maintaining a clear, organized pipeline of funding opportunities.
   

Why Join Us?
We respect that our volunteers are high-level professionals, often balancing their time alongside demanding careers. By joining Yule Travel Group CIC, you gain:
 

• Strategic Autonomy: You won't be handed a list of mundane tasks. You will be given a blank canvas to build and execute enterprise-grade funding strategies.
   

• Measurable Global Impact: Your writing doesn't just raise awareness; it secures the capital that builds schools, funds micro-finance, and launches independent UK businesses.
   

• Tech-Forward Experience: We operate with the sharpness of a corporate tech startup. You will gain hands-on experience utilizing cutting-edge, enterprise-level tools to scale your output.
   

• Ultimate Flexibility: We operate a 100% remote, asynchronous workspace. You complete your hours per week entirely on your own schedule, from anywhere in the UK.
   

• A Prestige Portfolio Piece: Coming in at the ground floor of a radical industry disruptor is a uniquely powerful case study for any professional portfolio.
