Job overview

There has never been a better time to join the Trust’s Supply and Delivery Service. The service plays a critical role in supporting frontline operations by ensuring the timely, safe, and efficient management of medical consumables across sites and ambulance stations.

Recent service developments include the implementation of a scanning-based stock management system, enabling accurate control of consumables both on site and at station, and removing the need for crews to spend valuable time ordering stock. This has been positively received by staff and has improved efficiency and availability. The service is now focused on refining these processes to further reduce wastage, improve data quality, and support sustainable use of resources.

The role provides operational oversight, coordination, and assurance, working closely with internal teams and stakeholders to maintain service resilience, support patient care, and contribute to continuous improvement across the Trust.
