At WPL we play a vital role for the NHS in Hampshire providing end-to-end procurement and supply chain services for University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust and Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Wholly owned by both Trusts, at WPL you’ll be part of the larger NHS family and contributing to improving healthcare across the region.

To recognise and reward your contribution we provide a range of great staff benefits. You’ll be eligible for a generous NHS pension scheme as well as all standard NHS terms of service and annual leave.

It’s an exciting time to join the team as we focus our attention on delivering cost and service improvements in the context of 40-year high inflation, renewed demand for supply chain security, and drive to sustainable healthcare. The non-clinical, strategic procurement team looks after all the indirect spend categories including IM&T, FM, Estates, Corporate Services, Pathology and much more. Our Stakeholders have demanding objectives and we play a key part in delivering the best possible commercial outcomes. We contribute to the NHS’s Cost Improvement Programme and we are passionate about building strong relationships with our suppliers to implement contracts that truly deliver for our hospitals.
