Job description

Job responsibilities

The Inventory Implementation Officer will play a critical role in supporting the implementation of a new Inventory Management System at Northumbria Healthcare Trust (NHCT).

NHCT has been selected by NHS Supply Chain as part of a national pilot to deploy a best-in-class inventory management and point of care solution to the Trust through a turnkey delivery model, enabled by best practice methodology, tools, and templates, that releases uncapped benefits to the Trust.

The IMS will be initially deployed to monitor the use of implants and consumables in General Theatres and will then subsequently be deployed across the rest of the Trust.

The new Inventory Management System will improve productivity, enable supply chain efficiency, and drive significant improvements to patients safety.

Due to the cross-functional nature of the project, the post holder will need to work and engage with key stakeholder from across the Trust including Inventory management, clinical, IT, information services and finance.

The role holder will play a key role in driving forward IMS implementation related activity, working within a team to ensure the project delivers the proposed benefits. Core activities include but are not limited to:

- Data collection, cleansing and analysis

- Product (implant & consumable) scanning and data correction

- Driving general activities within NHCT IMS implementation plan to enable go-live

The role holder will become a Trust subject matter expert and super-user of the new IMS system, responsible for managing and correcting any issues with the IMS system in the first instance, escalating issues as required.

Due to the in-hospital nature of the IMS deployment, the role holder will be required to be on-site with flexibility to travel across all four major hospital sites (North Tyneside, Wansbeck, NSECH, Hexham).

The role holder will work closely and build strong relationships with the eProcurement Systems team to ensure Trust IMS and P2P solutions are seamlessly interacting and working with each other.

The Inventory Implementation Officer will report to the IMS & S4S Implementation Lead and will be within a team of three Inventory Implementation Officers.

The Inventory Implementation Officer will:

- Support the IMS & S4S Implementation Lead with day-to-day implementation of IMS implementation deliverables.

- Work collaboratively across the team to deliver project tasks and support with ad hoc tasks as required.

- Support with preparation and capturing key actions or decisions during daily, weekly and monthly project meetings.

- Work collaboratively with delivery partners and suppliers.
