An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Support Buyer position within the Support Buying team in the Procurement department. This post will be a full-time, permanent position.

We are looking for two enthusiastic, committed, and motivated individuals with passion and drive to join our Support Buying team. The key function of the role is to support the UHL staff with low value spend in day-to-day ordering of goods and services. This will be done by developing and delivering training to UHL staff on the right way to order goods and services and on the process of ensuring invoices and prices are accurate to ensure a timely payment to our supplier. The post holders will also act as key collaborators for UHL departments.

The successful candidates will need to have previous NHS procurement experience in a busy office environment with excellent administrative and organisational skills including the ability to prioritise workloads. Previous knowledge of purchase to pay systems, as well as excellent customer service and time management skills and experience of working on their own initiative are key requirements.

If you are a highly motivated and organised person with a good work ethic this may be the job for you, we will welcome your application.

For further information or an informal discussion please contact Magda Mikolajczak, Purchase to Pay Team Co-ordinator, on 0116 502 7265 extension 27265.




The post holders will be required to act as a liaison between the Support Buying team, tasked with managing low value spend, and the rest of the Procurement department and UHL staff.

This will entail mentoring and monitoring the performance of the Support Buying team and using the relevant information to inform decision making for improvement plans.

The post holders will also have a close working relationship with the Accounts Payable department, to help ensure the smooth functioning of the purchase to pay process, from the point of raising an order all the way to payment of the invoice.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
