Job description

A Birmingham-based technology company who deliver services to the NHS and wider health and social care sector is hiring a Bid Writer.

This is a writing role, first and foremost. Working under the direction of the Bid Manager, you'll turn bid strategy into narrative-based responses to complex NHS and public sector tender questions — translating technical, operational, and clinical information into clear, persuasive, evidence-backed writing. Deadlines don't move, and submission windows often mean several substantial responses due in the same week.

What You'll Do

• Write high-quality, narrative-based responses to NHS and public sector tenders
• Interview subject matter experts across the business to gather compelling evidence and case studies
• Manage multiple concurrent submissions to hard deadlines
• Maintain and improve the company's bid library and response bank
• Review feedback from won and lost bids to keep raising the standard

What We're Looking For

• Demonstrable experience writing narrative-based tender responses (NHS or public sector experience a strong advantage)
• Excellent written English
• A portfolio of bid writing you can talk through in detail
• Commercial acumen and the ability to build a genuine argument, not just answer a question
• Comfortable using AI tools to support drafting while owning quality and accuracy
• The ability to work at pace, under pressure, without a drop in quality
