If you’re looking for a career in Procurement that keeps you motivated, offers potential for personal development and puts you in a position to make a positive difference to the NHS in Wales, then NWSSP Procurement Services has a career that will interest you.

An opportunity has arisen for Category Officers to join the NHS Shared Services - Procurement Services' Cardiff & Vale Integrated Partnership Team providing professional support to all Health Boards and Trusts across Wales.

The successful applicant will, following a period of induction into the team, manage the timely negotiation of a range of allocated contracts that offer value for money utilising electronic tools, from the identification of demand through to the award and publication of contracts in line with the published category contract programme ensuring compliance with Organisational standards and relevant legislation.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.

At NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership we have high standards and expect everyone to embrace our values of Listening & Learning, Working Together, Taking Responsibility & Innovating, whilst ensuring trust, honesty and compassion are implicit in everything that we do.

We are adaptable, agile and flexible and pride ourselves on being a learning organisation - one where it is safe to make mistakes, where blame is replaced by opportunity, learning and improvement. Innovation is built into everything that we do.

We recognise our people regularly and have an Appreciation Station, to encourage staff to applaud exemplary behaviour in one another, alongside an Annual Staff Recognition Award ceremony aligned to our values.

We respect and value our people and strive for a culture of compassion and inclusivity. We are a bilingual organisation, and we have a team of Change Champions who advocate ‘This is Our NWSSP’ our principal change programme. Similarly, PROUD is our new staff network welcoming LGBT+
colleagues and allies to come together in a safe space for discussions, event planning and the opportunity to build supportive networks.

We have a comprehensive benefits package where there is something for everyone, supporting health, engagement and wellbeing and includes an Employee Assistance Programme. We have over 30 Mental Health First Aiders and work in partnership with local and national organisations to
ensure the well-being and resilience of our people.
