Your role

Reporting to the Marketing & Communications Manager, we're looking for a Bid Administrator to support our tendering team on a part-time basis. This hands-on role coordinates tender/bid submissions end-to-end, from reading requirements through to assembling the final document.

This position will suit someone organised and is a great opportunity to develop skills in bid and tender administration, as well as build broader exposure to the marketing function over time.

Key responsibilities:

• Preparing high-quality tenders, proposals and submissions – reading and interpreting RFT/RFQ/EOI requirements and completing all associated forms, content and compliance documentation
• Compiling supporting material and drafting methodology sections from established templates, ready for final submission
• Formatting and proofreading tender documents to a high standard
• Tracking submission deadlines and coordinating input from other teams
• Maintaining content databases, tender registers, templates, document control, and the centralised information library
• Providing general administrative support to the Marketing and Business Development team

The ideal candidate will have:

• Strong, confident use of Microsoft Word, including styles, formatting, tables, track changes and templates
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with a strong attention to detail
• Previous administrative experience – ideally bid/tender-related, though training will be provided for the right person
• Ability to manage several submissions and deadlines at once, with a proactive, adaptable approach

What's in it for you?

• Competitive salary and genuine flexibility on days and hours
• Exposure to the broader marketing function
• Long-term, stable position with a well-established and growing business
• Supportive, people-focused culture
