Trainee Consultant Bid Writer

Hudson Outsourcing Ltd

Office Based Role – Durham, DH6 5PF

Job description

To work as a trainee consultant bid writer you must be adaptable and outgoing, as client communications will be essential for this role. You must have an abundance of common sense, be bright, willing to learn and take strong notes to ensure management do not need to repeat actions and activities.

Due to the diverse nature of this role, you will play a key part in bid writing for multiple clients in multiple businesses. Full training will be given during your probationary period, but you will also be expected to take ownership of additional learning and development.

The ideal person for this role will be:

  • highly motivated, customer focused and have a ‘can do’ attitude.
  • Kind and considerate and willing to learn from peers.
  • Not afraid of deadlines, as the role will need you to meet daily deadlines which cannot be changed.
  • An excellent verbal and written communicator. It’s critically important you can ‘speak the language’ when communicating with clients and internal team members, excellent communication skills are a must, both verbal and written.
  • Quality driven and take pride in their work.
  • Have the ability to take feedback gracefully and learn from it.
  • Exceptional writer and have the ability to write compelling content with often limited client information. Therefore your research skills need to be excellent.

In the early days of your career with us, you will be responsible for elements of an overall bid before moving onto writing and managing a whole bid.

We are looking for a good all-rounder for this position, someone who is prepared to roll their sleeves up and get involved in multiple projects. No two days will be the same so this role requires someone who is highly focused on career development and someone who isn’t afraid of hard work and deadlines.

Ai is not used at Hudson, so if you rely on Ai tools to produce your writing, this job is not for you.

Job Particulars:

  • Full-time, Monday-Friday 9am-5:30pm
  • Must have 4 years in-person office experience, including effective verbal client communication to qualify for this role.
  • Starting salary for those who qualify is £30,000.
  • On-site parking.
  • Master’s (required).
  • Technical writing experience preferred.
  • Work Location: In person
