We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here. 

We are currently looking for a Bid Manager (Corporate, Trusts and Foundations) to join us at The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Foundation.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation is the international charity that drives and encourages the Award’s growth, access and impact across the globe.

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.
