Are you a hardworking team player with excellent attention to detail and a dedicated work ethic? Keen to make a difference while working within the NHS? We offer exceptional staff benefits and discounts, along with a highly desirable pension scheme. Your health and wellbeing come first, and we provide a variety of staff support networks.
You will be responsible for the provision of a Materials Management service to LGI Theatres. This role involves both manual and office-based work, requiring you to visit wards frequently. As this is a busy area of Supplies, you will need to be organized and demonstrate strong communication skills when working with end users, especially during urgent orders. Physical fitness is essential, as the job can involve manual handling, pushing, and pulling. Adaptability to change, sometimes at short notice, is also required.
Main duties of the job
This role is based within LGI Theatres, where you may interact face-to-face with Surgeons and Clinicians who urgently require specific medical products. People management skills are key, and while you will be working directly with other Materials Management Assistants, a degree of autonomy will be necessary as you oversee your own areas of responsibility. Building a good rapport with Clinicians and medical staff is vital. This operational role requires on-site presence five days a week (Monday to Friday) with no availability for hybrid working.
You will ensure that the Trust's procurement is conducted in accordance with the organization's Best Practice and Financial Standing Instructions. Responsibilities include maintaining stock at appropriate levels using handheld data capture devices and managing the administrative support for each of the Supplies IT Systems.
This role is based at LGI, Monday to Friday, full time at 37.5 hours, typically from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm.
