Job description

Social Impact Solution Coordinator

Home-based - travel as per business need

Full Time, Permanent

Band 6 / £28,000-£35,000 (dependent on experience)

Here at Serco, social value is an important part of how we win new business and deliver positive outcomes for customers, communities and wider society.

We are looking for an organised and proactive Social Impact Solutions Coordinator to support our social value activity across a busy pipeline of bids.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who already has some knowledge of social value and is keen to build a long‑term career in the field. You may currently work in social value, ESG, responsible business, bid coordination, project support or a related role and be ready to take the next step.

An interest in social value is essential, and knowledge of PPN 026 and the Social Value Model would be beneficial. There will also be an opportunity to undertake an ESG apprenticeship, supporting your professional development while gaining practical experience across live bids and social impact projects.

You will:

• Maintain the social value bid pipeline, trackers, calendars and document libraries.
• Coordinate meetings, reviews, deadlines, stakeholder inputs and approvals across multiple bids.
• Prepare agendas and supporting papers, record decisions and actions, and follow up contributors.
• Help review customer requirements, PPN 026 criteria, Social Value Model requirements and evaluation instructions.
• Identify incomplete or conflicting information and escalates issues clearly.
• Coordinate contributions from bid teams, operational colleagues, Finance, Commercial, Procurement and social value specialists.
• Support the drafting, proofreading and formatting of social value bid responses, implementation plans and presentations.
• Maintain accurate records of commitments, measures, owners, costs, risks, dependencies and evidence requirements.
• Support engagement with community organisations and external delivery partners.
• Maintain libraries of case studies, policies, statistics, certificates and approved bid content.
• Support bid governance activity, including reviews, feedback, actions and audit trails.
• Coordinate the handover of successful social value commitments into mobilisation and contract delivery.
• Collate delivery data and evidence to demonstrate progress against contractual commitments.
• Identify opportunities to improve templates, trackers, processes and ways of working.

You will also bring:

• Experience in coordination, administration, bid support, project support, PMO or a similar role.
• Some knowledge of social value, ESG or responsible business, alongside a clear desire to progress within this field.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage competing deadlines across several bids or projects.
• Strong attention to detail, including document control, record‑keeping, proofreading and quality checking.
• The confidence to request information, follow up actions and constructively challenge incomplete or inconsistent contributions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• The ability to build effective relationships across different teams, seniority levels and external organisations.
• Good Microsoft 365 skills, particularly Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams and SharePoint.
• The ability to handle commercially sensitive information and maintain accurate audit trails and approval records.
• A proactive, dependable and service‑focused approach.
• The ability to work independently within agreed parameters and recognise when an issue needs to be escalated.
• Knowledge of PPN 026, the Social Value Model, public procurement or social value measurement would be beneficial, but we are equally interested in candidates who have the core coordination skills and a strong commitment to developing their knowledge.

Why Serco:

This role provides a strong foundation for someone who wants to establish or progress a career in social value. You will gain practical experience of how social value is developed through the bid process, from understanding customer requirements and coordinating evidence through to supporting mobilisation, measurement and reporting. You will work alongside experienced Social Impact Solution Managers, contribute to a varied pipeline of bids and have the opportunity to undertake an ESG apprenticeship to support your continued development.

• Flexible working considered
• Pension - 6%
• Chance to contribute to innovation in the public services
• A company passionate about diversity and inclusion
• Serco discounts which include cinema, merlin entertainment and online shopping discounts, and discounts on mobile phone plans and leisure centre memberships.
