Providing strategic procurement for Northumberland County Council, Northumbria Healthcare Foundation Trust and North Cumbria University Hospital Trust; the new Shared Procurement Service is a groundbreaking collaboration between local authority and NHS. Its aim is to provide a sustainable and cost effective procurement service which help drive economic benefits and service quality for all stakeholder organisations.
Reporting into the Senior Procurement Specialists, the Procurement Specialist will be responsible for the delivery of a defined number of procurement projects across the three stakeholder organisations and supporting the activities of the senior procurement specialists.
As the role crosses both local authority and NHS, expertise in a specific area is desirable but not essential.
