Surrey Council School & SEND Transport Tender Specialist

We are a private hire and passenger transport company based in Surrey and are looking for an experienced tender/procurement specialist who is very familiar with Surrey County Council, particularly its Home-to-School, SEND and passenger transport procurement processes. We are specifically looking for someone who already understands how Surrey County Council’s tendering/procurement portal and application process works and can lead and assist us through the process from start to finish. This is important to us. We are not looking for a general tender writer who will need us to explain the process or who will be learning how Surrey County Council’s system works while completing our application. We need someone experienced who understands what is required and can provide us with clear guidance throughout. We have previous experience within Surrey County Council school/passenger transport through a different company, and as a result we already have a substantial amount of documentation that may be useful for the new application. This includes policies and procedures such as complaints policies, recruitment processes and other operational/compliance documentation. We need someone who can review the documentation we already have, identify what can be reused or adapted for the new company, identify anything that is missing, advise us on exactly what additional policies/evidence are required, assist with the portal and application requirements, prepare strong and compliant responses and help us through to final submission. Previous direct experience with Surrey County Council is strongly preferred. Experience with UK local-authority Home-to-School transport, SEND transport or passenger transport frameworks would also be highly desirable.

The Initial Task: April to Present Audit I have a specific merchant that has been overcharging me. I need you to: Isolate the Data: Access my bank/credit card activity and find every transaction for [Merchant Name] from April 2024 to the present. Verify the Discrepancy: Compare what was charged against what should have been charged (I will provide the target rate). Resolve: Call the merchant’s billing department. You will need to navigate the phone tree, speak with representatives, and stay persistent until the overcharges are reconciled and a credit/refund is confirmed. Future Scope (The "Jack-of-all-trades" Role) I am looking for a long-term partner who can also handle: Medical Administration: Scheduling specialist appointments, managing referrals, and organizing health records (in compliance with Canadian privacy standards like PIPEDA/PHIPA). Life Management: Project management for personal and professional tasks. Anticipation: Seeing a problem and bringing me the solution, not just the question. Who You Are Persuasive & Professional: You have a great phone manner and can be firm with customer service reps without being rude. Detail-Oriented: You won't miss a single transaction or a 50-cent discrepancy. Tech Savvy: You use tools like...

Personal Brand & Content Strategist – Finance & Property

## About the project I'm a UK mortgage adviser looking for a **Personal Brand & Content Strategist** to help me build and launch a personality-led brand around mortgages, property, money and real-life financial conversations. I'm currently at the very beginning, with lots of ideas but I want an experienced strategist to help me refine them, challenge what won't work and turn them into a clear strategy. ### The vision I don't want to create another traditional, overly corporate mortgage adviser page. I want the content to be **entertaining, conversational, opinionated and sometimes provocative**, while still maintaining the credibility and professionalism required within financial services. I want to create short-form videos using strong questions and hooks around topics such as: * Home ownership * Renting vs buying * First-time buyers * Council/social housing * Relationships and money * Buying with a partner * Generational wealth * Property and financial decisions * Mortgage misconceptions Some content will deliberately encourage debate and discussion, but the objective isn't controversy for the sake of it. The content should lead into **facts, education, practical solutions and genuine conversations about money and housing**. Longer term, I'd like to develop this into Lives, interviews and potentially a personality-led financial talk/audit show where people discuss their finances, housing situations and financial decisions. There is also a commercial objective. As the audience grows, I'd like the brand to generate mortgage enquiries and eventually create opportunities for relevant partnerships and sponsorships. ## What I need Initially, I'm looking for **one intensive strategy day/session**. I want us to work together on: * My positioning and what will differentiate me * Target audience * Brand personality and tone of voice * How provocative/opinionated the content should be * Clear boundaries around topics and messaging * 3–5 strong repeatable content series * Content pillars * Short-form video concepts and hooks * TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts strategy * Turning engagement into community and enquiries * How the short-form strategy could eventually develop into Lives and longer-form content * A practical 30–90 day launch plan Because I work within regulated financial services, the strategy also needs to account for professional and compliance considerations. ### Who I'm looking for I'd particularly like to work with someone who understands **personal brands, creators, presenters, experts or personality-led content**. You don't necessarily need to specialise in mortgages or financial services. I'm more interested in finding someone who understands **why people stop scrolling, why they comment, how personalities become recognisable brands and how an audience can eventually become a business**. I'd like someone who is comfortable challenging my ideas rather than simply agreeing with everything I suggest. ### Initial engagement This is initially a **one-day strategy project** rather than a long-term contract. If we work well together, I'd like to potentially book another strategy session several weeks later once I've started publishing and we have real performance data to analyse. When applying, please include examples of personal/creator brands you've worked with, what you would aim to accomplish during our strategy day, your rate for the session, and any initial thoughts on how you would approach this type of brand.
