Procurement Manager

The closing date is 01 July 2026

Join a friendly, high-performing team at the forefront of transformation, where procurement plays a key role in shaping future services. This is not a traditional procurement role. It offers a more strategic focus, with the opportunity to lead complex healthcare procurements and shape and secure services that directly impact patient care.

You’ll work across a varied and evolving portfolio, collaborating with clinical, operational and system partners to influence decisions and bring new ideas to life. The work is dynamic, visible and genuinely makes a difference.

We offer a supportive and flexible environment, with real autonomy to manage your own workload. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that values trust, development and shared success. The role is hybrid, with just one day per week in the office.
