Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a unique organisation, serving as the sole integrated provider in the Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon, and Wiltshire system. Our scope extends beyond boundaries as we oversee adult community services in Swindon and provide acute care from the Great Western Hospital.

Our 5,500 staff have 1.2m patient contacts a year, with 13,000 operations carried out in our Theatres, around 4,000 babies born, and our emergency attendances are now well over 100,000 per year. Those numbers only tell part of our story about what an exciting time it is to join Great Western Hospitals.

We are cultivating a culture that fosters our ambitions, prioritising equality, diversion, inclusion, wellbeing, and leadership. We aim to create an environment where every member of our team can truly thrive.

Join our award‑winning Procurement Team and play a key role in shaping a safe, modern, and efficient NHS. We’re looking for a proactive Procurement Manager to lead sourcing and contract activity across our clinical procurement category.

In this role, you’ll work closely with trust clinical teams to deliver high‑quality, value‑for‑money solutions that support safe patient environments and excellent operational performance. You’ll manage end‑to‑end procurement activity, negotiate strong commercial agreements, and help deliver year‑on‑year savings while ensuring compliance and driving sustainability and social value.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships, solving problems, and influencing positive change. If you're commercially minded, confident managing complex projects, and keen to make a visible impact across our hospitals, we’d love you to join us.

This is a diverse role where you will be working within the clinical procurement team, sourcing goods and services across Bath & North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire.

• Ensure all procurement activity complies with Public Procurement Law, NHS policies, and sustainability and social value requirements, maintaining clear documentation and producing high‑quality recommendation reports.
• Act as a subject‑matter expert, providing specialist advice on procurement regulations, procedures, and best practice, keeping stakeholders informed and engaged throughout the process.
• Manage and support a small team, contributing to recruitment, appraisals, staff development and day‑to‑day leadership, while promoting collaborative and inclusive working.
• Work collaboratively with internal colleagues and external suppliers to support patient‑centered services, contribute to service improvement, and uphold strong professional standards.

Monitor supplier and contract performance, supporting stakeholders with issue resolution and ensuring compliance, quality and continuous improvement.

The successful candidates will have the flexibility to be based at either in Royal United Hospitals in Bath NHS Foundation Trust, Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust or Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Swindon.
