Job description

Business Development Manager – Statutory Advocacy (Health & Social Care)

Location: Flexible/remote with some travel

Contract: (4 days per week perm)

POhWER is a leading national advocacy charity. We’re looking for a Business Development Manager to drive our growth in statutory advocacy contracts – retaining key services and winning new opportunities that amplify the voices of people who need them most.

As our Business Development Manager, you will:

• Lead end-to-end tenders for health and social care advocacy services

• Shape service models with operational, safeguarding, quality and finance colleagues

• Develop commercial models and pricing that are competitive, sustainable and robust

• Build strong relationships with commissioners, procurement teams and partners

• Oversee smooth contract mobilisation so new services launch safely and on time

You’ll bring:

• Proven experience leading public-sector tenders (ideally health or social care)

• A track record of winning bids for commissioned services

• Strong commercial and financial modelling skills

• Excellent written communication and project management skills

• A values-driven, rights-based approach aligned with independence, empowerment and safeguarding

Important: This role focuses on commissioned contracts and tenders – not fundraising or grants.

If you want to use your commercial and bid expertise to shape advocacy services and influence commissioning decisions, we’d love to hear from you.
