About the role

SignHealth is a passionate and unique deaf-led charity, committed to creating a future where there are no barriers to good health and wellbeing for deaf people.


Our work is varied and aims to promote easier access to healthcare and information. We partner with the NHS and other services and take on projects, carry out research, and raise awareness. We also deliver our own services to reach deaf people in our shared language (BSL) in their moment of need, through domestic abuse support, therapy, advocacy and residential services.


As Business Development Manager, you will drive SignHealth's growth by securing funding and building partnerships with government bodies, statutory funders, and key partners. Your work will help expand deaf-led services in mental health, domestic abuse, social care, and children and young people's support.


You will identify new funding opportunities, craft compelling bids and tenders, and support service sustainability through strategic development. Working closely with internal teams and external stakeholders, you will play an essential role in helping SignHealth thrive and deliver vital support for deaf people.


Your key priorities will include:


Increasing bid capacity within the Business Development team to obtain more funding. Supporting the growth of SignHealth's commercial consultancy services. Assisting in the business development of our social care services.

You will be involved in income generation, identifying and pursuing funding opportunities from statutory bodies, government contracts, and commercial sources and assisting in monitoring the performance of secured contracts and funding agreements. You will represent SignHealth at events, foster strategic partnerships, and strengthen relationships with funders and stakeholders.

Do you have proven track record in securing income from government and statutory bodies?

Do you have demonstrated success in leading proposals, tender bids, or grant applications?

Do you have strong project management, relationship management and stakeholder engagement skills?
