About us
Wesley Mission is a high-profile, multi-faceted Christian organisation making a real difference in the community. We work with some of the most disadvantaged people in our community through more than 200 services spanning homelessness, mental health, child and family services, aged care, counselling, employment, education and health.
Our vision is:
“A Spirit-led disciple-making movement: doing all the good we can because every life matters.”
About the role
Reporting to the Head of Impact & Growth, the Adviser, Tenders, Grants & Growth supports Wesley Mission’s sustainability and impact by preparing high‑quality government funding submissions and growth proposals.
This role is responsible for drafting and coordinating grant, tender and commissioned funding submissions for government and related funders (excluding philanthropic and fundraising streams). Working closely with service experts, Impact & Outcomes teams and growth leads, the role translates service models, outcomes and evidence into clear, compelling, compliant submissions.
The role also supports proactive growth and productisation activity — contributing to pitch documents and proposals outside formal tender processes — helping Wesley Mission diversify and grow non‑philanthropic revenue that supports scalable impact.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone building or consolidating a career in tenders, grants and growth within a complex, mission-driven organisation with a strong public profile.
About you
This role would suit someone who brings:
- Demonstrated experience drafting government grants, tenders or commissioned funding submissions, or strong transferable skills in proposal development
- Clear, structured and persuasive writing skills, with strong attention to detail
- An understanding of government funding environments, compliance requirements and assessment processes (or a strong willingness to develop this expertise)
- The ability to coordinate inputs from multiple stakeholders and manage competing deadlines
- Confidence working collaboratively across teams, including service experts, finance, legal and governance
- Alignment with Wesley Mission’s Christian mission, values and commitment to social justice
- Experience in community services, not-for-profit organisations or government procurement environments is desirable but not essential.
Why join Wesley Mission?
You’ll be part of a values-driven organisation that takes its advocacy seriously, supports learning and development, and seeks to influence systems for the benefit of people and communities experiencing disadvantage
