This post operates as part of a small team responsible for purchasing and procurement services across NHS Western Isles. The role includes purchasing, supply chain and stock management, systems administration, user training, contract implementation, and some vehicle fleet management duties.

Applicants should have purchasing experience in a similar role, good communication and IT skills, and a flexible approach to work. A full UK driving licence is essential.

AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application—but your answers must be your own.

- Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
- Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.
- Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.

Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you—not an AI tool.
