We’re looking for a highly experienced Senior Buyer / Category Manager to support on the delivery of our procurement strategy for our IT, Marketing and HR category.

We are one of the largest Not for Profit Care providers in the UK specialising in providing relationship-centred care for older people in nursing, residential and independent living homes. As a charity we ensure that any revenue goes straight back into our homes for the benefit of our residents and employees who care for them.

It is an exciting time to join the Trust as we are making a significant investment in our estate and technology roadmap. To help us achieve efficiencies and minimise waste we will be looking for someone to research, plan and choose a range of goods and services based on business needs and budget.

Some typical duties will include:

  • Partnering with key stakeholders to understand their medium to long terms requirements
  • Undertaking tenders from RFI / RFQ to conclusion
  • Developing supplier relationships that will drive innovation, continual improvement and best practice

  • Ensuring via collaboration with the business that agreed project targets are delivered to time and budget.
  • Managing risks and ensuring value for money through effective negotiations and putting in place appropriate contractual relationships

About you

You will have a good understanding of the IT, Marketing and HR category so you can confidently predict emerging trends, lean on your existing supplier networks to ensure our negotiations remain competitive.

Ideally you will be degree educated and CIPS qualified. Your commercial negotiation skills will be first rate as well as developing, drafting and managing supplier contracts. Alongside this you will have strong analytical and numerical skills so can confidently evaluate proposals from a cost and risk perspective.

With various transformation activities running across the Trust, you will be able to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment and have a “can-do” attitude in order to achieve the end result.

In return, as a key member of the procurement team you can expect benefits such as:

  • Competitive Company pension
  • 25 days holidays plus Bank holidays, increasing to 30 days after 5 years’ service
  • Life Assurance
  • "My Rewards" offering you discount on shopping, days out, restaurants and much more

We reserve the right to close this role before the closing date, with no advance notice. We do encourage you to complete an application as soon as possible if interested.
