The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award (the Award) is a Non-Formal Education and Learning framework encouraging young people to find their purpose, place and passion in the world.
In more than 120 countries and territories, our globally recognised accreditation is available to all 14 to 24-year-olds, of all backgrounds, locations, cultures and abilities.
Through the programme, each young person becomes part of something special while developing their own interests, universal skills and life aspirations.

Working in partnership with organisations and governing bodies, we oversee the licensing of Award operators – including schools, youth groups, employers and custodial institutions.
The Foundation relies on a combination of operational and voluntary income to fund its work, and we are looking to grow the contribution of Corporate and institutional funders to the current income mix, alongside a strong philanthropic base.
We are therefore seeking an experienced and dynamic Bid Manager (Corporate, Trusts and Foundations) to join our Development team and play a pivotal role in securing funding through successful corporate, trust, and foundation applications. The Bid Manager (Corporate, Trusts and Foundations) will be responsible for researching, writing, and submitting high-quality, compelling funding proposals that bring to life the critical role the Foundation plays in ensuring that all young people have access to the Award, wherever they are or whatever their circumstances.

More important is your caring and compassionate nature and empathy and enthusiasm for helping others. Whatever your background, you’ll need to be happy to work both independently and within a team and willing to be part of a weekly rota system and available for on call duties.
In return for your skills and enthusiasm, this role comes with some really great benefits and excellent training and development opportunities.
