• Improve procurement processes by updating guidance, templates, conducting training, and finding better ways of working.
• Ensure all procurement activities comply with relevant rules and UK public procurement requirements.
• Build relationships with stakeholders to understand future needs, plan procurement activity, and support contract management, including supplier reviews and price changes.
• Maintain contract records, track spend and savings, and use data to identify opportunities for improvement.

• Experience in procurement, ideally in a public sector environment, with a solid understanding of procurement processes and the ability to manage or support tenders.
• Knowledge of UK procurement regulations.
• Comfortable working with information and data, able to explain findings clearly to a range of people.
• Organised, thoughtful, and able to support others through a process.
• Professional qualification such as CIPS or experience working in housing or a similar sector is desirable but not essential.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and experiences. As a Disability Confident Leader, we guarantee an interview to disabled applicants who meet the minimum essential criteria for the role. We also apply the same inclusive approach to applicants from under‑represented ethnic groups and members of the LGBTQ+ community. We want everyone to feel supported throughout the recruitment process and encourage applicants to let us know if we can help you showcase your talents, including adjustments for disability or neurodiversity.

• Flexible work options through our Agile Working model, including working from one of our office hubs, from home, or using mobile hotspots as needed.
• Our offices are equipped with modern, collaborative spaces to support wellbeing and work/life balance.
