Procurement Business Manager

Job overview

The three Partner Trusts have set an objective of creating a single procurement function which will help support the sustainable provision of clinical and non-clinical services. A newly formed Humber & North Yorkshire Procurement Collaborative, hosted by Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, will provide procurement and supply chain services to its Partner Trusts, and may extend over time to service other bodies within the Integrated Care System.

“Are you someone who enjoys interpreting policies, legislation and contractual requirements, and turning them into practical solutions that support good governance and decision-making?

We are looking for a proactive and highly organised Procurement Business Manager to support the senior leadership team within the Humber & North Yorkshire Procurement Collaborative (HNYPC).

This is an excellent opportunity to develop your career within a collaborative NHS procurement function and gain broad exposure to procurement governance, commercial practice, contract management and regulatory compliance.”

Main duties of the job

This is a varied role at the heart of procurement governance, assurance and business management. Working across multiple NHS organisations, you will help coordinate governance and assurance activity, support the development and management of policies and procedures, monitor compliance requirements, and work closely with colleagues on contractual, supplier and procurement-related matters.

We are particularly interested in candidates who bring strong analytical, legal, commercial or governance awareness. You may come from a legal, paralegal, contract management, procurement, compliance, audit or governance background. A legal qualification is not essential, but you should be comfortable interpreting guidance, legislation, policies and contractual documentation, identifying risks and issues, asking the right questions, and supporting proportionate and well-evidenced decision-making.

You will work guided by precedent and clearly defined procedures. Works without supervision however can seek advice from Line Manager when required.
