Job Description:

Alcove is seeking an experienced, detail-driven Bid Writer to support our ambitious growth targets and business development strategy aligned with our 2030 Business Plan. This role will be integral to producing compelling, high-quality bid submissions across public and private sector opportunities in health, social care, and smart technology. Working closely with the Head of Business Development, you will lead the production of winning proposals for national frameworks, OJEU tenders, direct contracts, and partnership opportunities across our three core business divisions: TEC, Virtual Care, and CallConnect247. You will transform complex information into persuasive narratives that clearly articulate our value proposition, social impact, and technical credibility. This is a key position for someone who is passionate about writing, driven by deadlines, and thrives in a high-performance, mission-led environment.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead the full writing process for bids, proposals, and tender responses
  • Interpret tender documentation to extract client requirements and respond with clarity, precision, and strategic alignment
  • Work with internal subject matter experts (SMEs) across operations, product, technology, and finance to collate relevant content and evidence
  • Own the creation of content libraries, case studies, and boilerplate materials
  • Support the Head of Business Development in preparing large-scale national submissions and strategic alliances
  • Maintain clear bid plans, timelines, and task ownership using bid management tools
  • Contribute to bid/no-bid decisions with structured input
  • Work collaboratively with our CRM (Salesforce) to track bid status, pipeline performance, and outcomes
  • Ensure all bid content is proofed, formatted, and submitted to high professional standards and within client deadlines
  • Continuously review and improve template documents, response frameworks, and submission quality
  • Apply best practices in persuasive writing, bid scoring, and evaluation insight to maximise win rates

Requirements:

  • Proven experience in writing and managing bids within adult social care, health, or technology-enabled care
  • Excellent written English, with the ability to produce concise, compelling, and tailored responses under pressure
  • Strong understanding of public sector procurement frameworks (e.g. OJEU/FTS, DPS, local authority commissioning)
  • High attention to detail, with strong project management and organisational skills
  • Experience working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment with multiple concurrent submissions

Nice to have:

  • Familiarity with the commissioning priorities of ICBs, housing associations, and local authority care teams
  • Understanding of digital health, TEC, or virtual care services
  • Ability to gather and translate complex technical or operational input into persuasive copy
  • Experience with bid management tools, content libraries, and CRM systems (e.g. Salesforce)
  • Enthusiastic team player with a proactive and resilient attitude
What we offer:

Flexible remote working with occasional in-person collaboration for key opportunities
