Your new role

As a Procurement Specialist, you will support the delivery of compliant, value‑driven procurement activity across the organisation.

A professional procurement qualification (or working towards) and experience of contract management would be advantageous.

What you'll get in return

The opportunity to contribute to a purpose‑led public sector organisation, working on procurement activity that supports critical services and long‑term strategic objectives.
