• Carbon Literacy Certificate

• Qualifications Network UK (QNUK) Level 2 Health and Safety at Work

At Affinity Trust, believe everyone deserves to live their life their way. We are a values-led charity dedicated to supporting people with learning disabilities and autism, and we’re passionate about creating possibilities that empower our community.

Our Bids and Tendering team are the golden thread between our current support and the future opportunities we pursue, driving growth and making a lasting impact. Join us to be part of a dedicated team shaping the future of our services.

It’s all about the people

The support we provide is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We’re here to enable people to live the life they choose, in their own way, every day.

As our Head of Bids and Tendering, you'll play a pivotal role in driving our organisation's growth. You'll get to know each of our regional division's unique needs and translate this into successful bids and proposals.

Your expertise in Local Authority or Government contract procurement, particularly in Health and Social Care or similar regulated sectors, will be crucial. 
 

As a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, you’ll collaborate with cross-departmental teams, to understand how we can all come together to tender for, deliver on, and exceed, the contractual requirements for each tender, building this into a cohesive strategy for ongoing growth and development.

Your people-led leadership approach will inspire and empower your team to continue to excel in delivering high-quality content for bids and tender processes.

Your experience

We would love to hear from you if you have experience in:

• Working at a senior level in government procurement, or health and social care bids roles where you have navigated complex tender processes
• Leading teams to deliver growth through securing local authority contract awards.
• Building strategic relationships across departments to enable cohesive, multi-disciplinary collaboration and achieve shared goals

What benefits will I have?

We have a range of benefits that you can mix and match to suit you, such as:

• Care Friends - our employee referral and reward app. You’ll receive points which can be exchanged for extra money.
• Wagestream – an app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it, access to coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback and more.  
• Blue Light Card – we will reimburse your Blue Light Card membership which provides discounts in your favourite shops and restaurants.
• Simply Health - Fully funded health cash plans giving you access to a 24-hour GP, money back on prescriptions, dental treatment, opticians and access to many more health benefits.
• Vivup – spread the cost of home and electronics items, or a bike to cycle to work through fixed salary reductions throughout the year.
• Buy and sell annual leave – transfer windows open twice a year.
• Pension and Life Assurance - you’ll be enrolled into our Scottish Widows pension scheme and Life Assurance scheme.
