The Deputy Head of Sourcing will be exposed to complex/high spend procurement projects, which will require a high level of commercial acumen and expertise in a diverse range of product and service categories.

The Deputy Head of Sourcing will work closely with the Head of Sourcing, Supply Chain Co-ordination Limited (NHS Supply Chain) and national category towers to deliver sustainable annual efficiency savings in line with each trusts cost improvement plan.
