The new facility is designed to match the most exacting standards of current research, serving the educational needs of future generations of undergraduate and graduate students much more effectively than is possible on our existing site.
We are seeking a Purchasing Supervisor to join the department's Finance Team as part of a refreshed 'core' structure for purchasing in the department.

With experience in working with multiple stakeholder groups in a team environment, strong financial awareness, and proactive communicative skills, the successful candidate will be able to motivate and lead others to successful service delivery.
You will ideally be CIPS qualified or working towards. The role involves day-to-day contact with academic, technical and administrative staff and students and requires the ability to communicate effectively with a wide range of people.
You will provide direct purchasing and procurement support to the Department, including: providing guidance and assistance to stakeholders sourcing complex goods and services; manage a team of core buyers and undertake training and development; advise on procurement and logistics procedures in line with best practice and University regulations, maintain documentation covering local procedures; review and either respond or make recommendation on sole-source requests (dispensations) raised within the Department; preparing activity and spend reports, and identify opportunities to improve workflow.
The successful candidate will have experience of working in a busy purchasing or finance function within a large organisation; be confident and experienced in working on large-scale projects with multiple stakeholder groups; be highly numerate and have good oral and written communication skills; be skilled in dealing with financial or procurement controls and able to prioritise your own workload.
Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a health assessment.
Interviews are expected to take place week beginning 10th June.
The University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society.
The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
