    Description

    Job Types:
    Full-time,

    Permanent Salary:

    Starting at £25,000 per annum (increasing to £30,000 after 6-months, currently rising to £45,000) (£35,000 achievable within 18-months), plus performance related bonuses of up to £6,000 p.a.

    Every day in the UK, bodies such as local councils, government departments and housing associations procure goods and services through the competitive tender process.

    This process requires organisations to create written bids (proposals), responding to various questions about their proposed approaches, in order to be awarded a contract.

    Executive Compass is an independent bid writing company which exists to support these organisations to write high-quality, detailed, and persuasive proposals and maximise their likelihood of success.

    Based in Newcastle upon Tyne but supporting organisations across the whole of the UK, we now have a vacancy for up to six graduate/trainee bid writers to join our team.

    Full training will be provided to support the successful applicant(s) to develop into skilled and knowledgeable bid writing professionals.

    In the past 13 years we have developed a highly effective graduate training scheme with intensive support and full training provided, allowing you to develop at your own pace.

    Our trainee roles will give you experience of working on live bids and the opportunity to work alongside other graduates as part of a professional team.

    As a trainee/graduate bid writer, you will work as part of our team either remotely from home (using a high-spec company PC and up to three flat-screen monitors all provided and delivered to you) or at our Hoults Yard office in Newcastle Upon Tyne, with hybrid flexible working arrangements always considered.

    Currently, around half our team of 30 work remotely and half are office-based in Newcastle.

    Those working at home have frequent and regular interaction with the team including a daily morning meeting and periodic office visits.

    With the attractive North East region offering relatively low living costs, access to the Northumberland coastline and countryside, members of our team include students wanting to stay in the area and others who have chosen to relocate.

    We offer relocation assistance should you wish take advantage of working and living in the Newcastle area with it many restaurants, sporting facilities, and thriving arts, cultural, and social scene.

    Further, we provide free parking, access to private healthcare, and our office is handily placed within walking distance of the local Metro train service and the city centre.

    You will receive one-to-one training covering methods for researching specification and preparing storyboards and answer-plans; persuasive, evidence based writing styles; and advanced writing techniques to develop you into a professional writer.

    To do so, you will be supported to gather high-quality information from the client, as well as undertaking your own research.

    As an independent bid writing consultancy, we support clients across a diverse range of industries and sectors.

    We therefore require a candidate who will be able to write compelling, persuasive text across a very wide-ranging field of businesses and functions.

    As this is a trainee/graduate role, you will not necessarily be expected to have any prior knowledge or experience of the various topics, industries, and sectors relevant to our work, but you must be a skilled and confident writer, with an appropriate vocabulary and an eagerness to learn.

    We work in a very fast-paced environment and, once fully trained, you will be writing multiple bids concurrently whilst simultaneously managing clients and their expectations.

    Some work outside of typical office hours may occasionally be required.
    Project managing the process from end-to-end on your own initiative, ensuring that submission deadlines are always met
    Speaking with clients and helping to manage client relationships
    Helping to maintain bid libraries (records of documentation relevant to each client)
    Becoming a specialist bid writer in a chosen field; Supporting with internal quality assurance checks
    Becoming involved in all parts of the business, including strategy, sales, business development and more
    As this is a graduate/trainee role, prior knowledge and experience of the tender process is not expected.

    Strong IT skills and outstanding writing, editing and verbal communication skills are essential, and you should be educated to degree level or above.

    While a business-related or English degree may be preferable, candidates with a degree in any discipline which has required them to write to a high quality (e.g. humanities, languages etc.) Members of our team have studied Economics, History, German, Law, English Literature, Engineering, Business Studies, Crime Science, Politics and more, translating their skills and abilities in writing and research to become successful bid writers.
    Salary increases following completion of probation (typically six months) and regular pay reviews in line with progress
    ~ A generous bonus scheme:
    when bids win, the resultant revenue is shared with the writers who supported the project, with experienced writers in our team earning on average up to 15% of their annual salary in bonuses
    ~ Opportunities to undertake paid overtime in line with business need
    ~25 days holiday per annum plus bank holidays (rising to 30 days on completion of qualifying period
    ~ Birthday holiday day, once passed 6-month probation period
    ~ Opportunities to progress via training and development (fully funded and time spent in training paid)
    ~ Opt-in private healthcare and healthcare cash plan (post-probation)
    ~ Regular socials and annual events such as summer barbecues, Christmas parties
    ~We are an equal opportunities employer and value diversity and so encourage applications from all sections of the community.
