If you are looking for a procurement career that excites you, stretches your potential and gives you job satisfaction, we would love to hear from you because an opportunity has arisen for you to be part of an ambitious and friendly team within one of the UK's leading NHS Trusts.

It has never been a more exciting time to join us as we start to realise a new procurement team structure and a more commercial and innovative way of working whilst supporting, developing, and growing our existing team. We would love for you to join us on this journey.

To do this we require someone who can effectively manage the internal operations and resources to enable the successful delivery of the efficiency targets and work-plans and someone who can build professional relationships and be the driver of change to enable Procurement to continuously improve the service.
