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.

You will work as a Trust Supply Chain Manager responsible for the 
receipt and distribution and materials management service at the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS FT sites which comprise Diana Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby, Scunthorpe General Hospital and Goole and District Hospital. You may be required to provide support and cover for the other trusts as required.

Main duties of the job

You will, through the agreed policies and procedures, provide technical 
and specialist advice for the supplies function across the Trust regarding 
stock ordering and stock management principles. You will manage staff 
and contractors to ensure that a consistent and reliable materials 
management service is offered across the Trust which includes planning 
and coordinating workloads.

Working independently within policies and procedures you will undertake a range of supply chain management activity but will have the ability to 
escalate any concerns where required. You will advise users and budget 
holders on supply chain management policies and procedures and will 
undertake stock management activity for medium/high value goods.
You will manage the performance of 17 supply chain management operatives and will actively support them in meeting their own development needs and aspirations.
