The order in which job vacancies are displayed is determined by a composite score based on the following factors:
Keyword Relevance: How well your search terms match the vacancy details. We prioritize matches found in the job title, followed by job requirements, location names, and educational levels. Matches within general employer information or the organization's name carry a lower weight.
Commercial Prioritization (Premium Jobs): Vacancies paid for by employers ('Premium' or 'Sponsored') receive a ranking boost and will appear higher in the search results.
Recency (Date Relevance): Newer vacancies are prioritized. The relevance score of a vacancy is reduced by half once the posting is older than 30 days.
Proximity (Distance Relevance): Vacancies located closer to your search location are ranked higher. For vacancies located more than 30 km from the search center, the relevance score is halved.
The final ranking is established by multiplying all these individual factors to calculate the total relevance score.
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
