The post holder will be expected to lead the clinical or non-clinical category in the Procurement departments Purchase to Pay (P2P) and Information team. This involves line management responsibility for the Buyers aligned to the category and supporting the e-Procurement Manager.

The post holder will be expected to offer support, guidance, and training within the team to ensure that an effective and efficient procurement service is provided to all end-users, and that all orders are processed correctly, and usage trends are identified and acted on.

  • Provide guidance and support to line reports and other members of the team to enable them to achieve individual and team goals and objectives.
