Who we are

By working alongside young Londoners, their families and peers in the places where they spend their time, we can create a safe London not just for them but for everyone.

Who you are

We’re looking for an experienced Bid Manager to help us improve the lives of young Londoners by growing our grant and contract-funded service portfolio.

You will understand the funding environment for youth charities from government commissioning and Trust funding opportunities, and will be ambitious to manage and drive growth across Safer London’s high quality and innovative service offer.

You will be someone with social justice at the core of your personal values, someone who places equity and inclusion at the centre of everything you do. We are also looking for someone with an understanding of and curiosity to learn about the varied experiences and challenges of young Londoners’ lives.

If you are committed and resilient and believe you have what it takes to help us improve the lives of young Londoners and their families, please apply.

What the role involves

- Work effectively with Safer London’s practice teams to identify opportunities and prepare successful funding bids in a competitive environment.
- Develop and maintain a pipeline of prospective funders and scan the external environment to identify new funding opportunities that are aligned to Safer London’s aims and strategic priorities.
- Develop and write inspirational, accurate, and compelling funding bids with the view of achieving sustainable long-term support for Safer London’s work.
- Build and maintain relationships with current and prospective funders, including through maximising any relationships held by senior colleagues and trustees.
- Maintain and develop internal income generation systems and processes, including donor records, financial information, funder reports, and internal monitoring to ensure effective stewardship and internal visibility of progress against plans.

Change lives in a life-changing career
