Hours: 37 hours per week Term: Permanent Location: Working from our office in central Bedford, with some provision for remote working. About SMART CJS Founded in 1997, we are a charity that provides safe spaces for people who are facing or experiencing homelessness, are rough sleeping or have fallen on tough times. As times have changed, our services have adapted and grown, but we ve always kept the people we support at the centre of all that we do. We believe that everyone needs a little help sometimes and, with trust, respect and honesty, people can make incredible changes. Our vision is to transform communities so that everyone has the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential, participate in and contribute to all aspects of life.

We believe in diversity and inclusion. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds. Benefits include: 27 days Annual Leave (rising to 30 after 3 years) + Bank Holidays (pro rata) Generous Pension scheme (after successfully completing a probation period) Excellent Development and Growth Opportunities Access to a Charity Worker Discount scheme Access to the company health and wellbeing service including support with mental health, legal advice and more Access to an online GP service We require all staff and volunteers to be committed to safeguarding and to respond proactively to safeguarding concerns. Successful applicants are required to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). This job description will be supplemented by annual objectives which will be developed in conjunction with the post holder. The Role SMART CJS is looking to recruit a Trusts and Foundations Bid Writer. The successful candidate will also have some responsibility for corporate fundraising with businesses based in Bedford and beyond; this responsibility will be shared with our Community and Corporate Fundraiser. The main responsibility, though, will be to generate income by writing bids to charitable trusts and foundations, and to statutory funders. The role will include researching and identifying charity trusts and similar bodies which are able to make an award to SMART. It will also include keeping abreast of developments in fundraising in the charity sector as a whole, especially in the field of grant awarding and, to a lesser extent, of corporate giving. There will be a probationary period for the role. As it generally takes six months for a grant to be awarded (though some arrive more quickly), the probationary period will need to be for a minimum of seven months, though its precise duration can be negotiated with the successful candidate. Training will be given; the scope of the training will depend on the candidate s previous experience. This is an exciting opportunity to join SMART s friendly and dedicated team. You ll need to be able to manage your time effectively; the role is primarily self-directed. We envisage that you ll be working primarily from our offices in Prebend Street, Bedford, though you'll be able to work from home for some of the time as well. Given the nature of our work, personal resilience is important; some of the stories we use when applying for funding can be emotionally challenging. Our fundraising comes from regular gifts, donations from the community (individuals and groups), and corporate bodies (businesses). The majority of our fundraising income comes from grants. There will be a realistic target for the amount you need to raise; this will reflect the performance for grant applications in the charity sector as a whole and it will not be unrealistic. Fundraising is not an exact science; the assessment of performance against the targets will be fair and reasonable. The final responsibility for SMART s fundraising rests with the trustees; they appreciate and understand the complexity of the issues involved. Main Purpose of the Role You will work closely with the CEO, the Chair of Trustees, the Head of Business and the fundraising team. The post involves gathering information, writing the bids, tracking the progress of submissions, and reporting back to grant awarders on how their money has been spent, if they require this. There will also be a responsibility for corporate fundraising. This will involve building relationships with businesses in and beyond the Bedford area. The responsibility for this will be shared with our Community and Corporate Fundraiser. Key Responsibilities Fundraising and Bid Writing Research and identify suitable grant and funding opportunities from charitable trusts, foundations, and statutory bodies. Write and submit high-quality funding applications and proposals in line with SMART s strategic priorities. Work collaboratively with service leads and front line teams to gather accurate, up-to-date data and service information for applications. Tailor the applications to the funder s criteria, using storytelling effectively. Manage a pipeline of applications and submissions, ensuring deadlines are met and income targets are tracked. Maintain and build relationships with key funders, providing timely reports and updates on grant-funded work. Work to realistic targets and be able to provide feedback on these. Organisational Development and Support Contribute to the strategic development of SMART s income generation plans. Support development of strong internal bid and grant management systems. Monitor success rates and provide monthly reporting on funding performance to the Head of Business and to the Chair of Trustees. Represent SMART CJS at funding briefings, webinars, and networking opportunities where appropriate. Other Responsibilities Participate in SMART s performance management and appraisal process. Attend the monthly meetings of the Fundraising Committee (a sub committee of the Board of Trustees). Comply with health and safety policies and procedures. Undertake any other duties commensurate with the role, as required by the CEO, the Head of Business or the Chair of Trustees. Person Specification Whether you re already an experienced bid-writer, or whether you think this is something that you could learn to do effectively, we d like to hear from you. You need to have excellent skills in written English and be able to write in prose that s clear and readily understandable to the general reader. The criteria for each grant awarder are different; you need to be able to match your bid to what they would like to fund (homelessness, mental health, relief of poverty, women s issues and so on). You need, then, to tell SMART s story in a way which appeals to each funder. You need to have excellent inter-personal skills and be able to work as part of a team. While there is a strong element of self-direction in the role, you need to be able to work closely with senior management and also with the trustees; the trustees have the final responsibility for fundraising in the charity. You will need, too, to have a commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, and to have a genuine interest in homelessness and the work of the charity, and a commitment to improving our clients lives and wellbeing.

Head of Underwriting: Specialty Lines - New Portfolio Opportunity - £170-200K DoE (+ equity linked package) - Hybrid 3 days in City HQ Our client is a specialist MGA with active lines across Technology, Cyber, Media, Accident & Health, Life, and Sports. Backed by Lloyd's of London and leading insurer partners, they have the capital, capacity relationships, and board commitment to expand into new underwriting lines - and they are looking for the right people to lead that expansion. With offices in the UK and Europe, and long-term investor backing in place, they can offer an experienced Head of Line / Senior Underwriter something rare: the infrastructure to build something new, with genuine ownership of what they create. The Opportunity: This is not a conventional hire. They are looking for a Head of Underwriting who has built a specialism, developed a portfolio, and is ready to bring it to a platform where they have a genuine stake in the outcome.

They will provide the vehicle, the capacity access, and the investment. You bring the expertise, the relationships, and the vision. This is an equity-linked, entrepreneurial proposition. You will share in the success of what you build. Lines of Interest: They are actively seeking an individual with deep expertise in specialist, niche lines where genuine differentiation exists. Areas of particular interest include: Life Sciences - clinical trials liability, biotech, pharmaceutical liability, medical devices Specialty Casualty - niche sub-sectors where a defined product and underserved broker demand exist Emerging or non-standard lines - where a proprietary product or approach has been developed and can be brought to a new platform They are not looking for generalists. The lines they write are chosen because they are interesting, differentiated, and not commoditised. If your background is in open market generalist risks, this is unlikely to be the right fit. What they are looking for: A proven specialty underwriter with an established, identifiable portfolio Strong broker relationships - a panel who know you, back you, and will follow you Insurer and capacity relationships that can support a new line, whether at Lloyd's or in the company market A track record of building a book, not just maintaining one The commercial credibility to articulate your proposition to capacity providers Familiarity with MGA structure and coverholder obligations What they offer: The model is explicitly entrepreneurial. They are not offering a safe lateral move. They are offering the opportunity to build something, with the backing to do it properly. Competitive base salary reflective of seniority and what you bring Equity participation in the underwriting team you build Commission share on the business you bring/generate - with meaningful long-term earning potential Access to Lloyd's and company market capacity Investment capital to support new line setup, including binder acquisition where required A lean, non-bureaucratic environment with direct access to decision-makers The chance to be in from the beginning of something genuinely exciting Seniority Senior Underwriter / Head of Underwriting Location London preferred; European office locations considered Reporting to Senior leadership / founder level Salary Competitive base - with significant upside through equity and commission Timeline Investment-backed setup; client supports the full process Covenants They will work with you to find a legitimate path - they will not ask you to breach your obligations How to Apply All conversations are entirely confidential.
