WANTED

Freelance Bid Writer (paid opportunity)

The House of Deviant is Wales’ first and only learning disabled drag troupe. We are a South Wales based co-produced project that uses drag performance as a vehicle to explore self-esteem and autonomy with adults with learning disabilities and/or autism, who can otherwise have difficulties with issues such as social isolation and getting their voices heard.

What we need:

An exciting opportunity has come up to join our small team on a freelance basis. We are looking to expand and develop our project and would like to recruit a freelance bid writer to help us secure funding.

Initially we are looking to hire someone to work on a medium scale bid to secure funding to develop and build on our Queens' skills over the coming year. We have identified the funding stream we would like to apply to and would like to recruit an experienced bid writer to write and develop the bid.

Following the bid we would like to continue the relationship to help us research and find additional funding sources for House of Deviant and the larger remit of Fflamingo CIC.

Who we are looking for:

We are looking for an enthusiastic and creative bid writer with experience in public funding.

Ideally you should:

have a good understanding of preparing and managing funding bids in an arts based industry
Prior track record of preparing successful funding applications
have excellent communication skills (including online, face to face and written)
have the ability to work to strict deadlines and be self-driven and motivated
be passionate about the arts
have a good understanding of the rights, needs and experiences of adults with a learning disability and/or autism
have a good understanding of the LGBTQ+ community
