Job overview
THIS POST WILL NOT COMMENCE UNTIL 1ST MAY 2025
We have a wide Procurement team at United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals, comprising a Clinical Procurement Team & Clinical Procurement Specialist Team, Non-Clinical Procurement Team, Operational Procurement Team, Capital, Estates & Facilities Procurement Team and the Supply Chain/Materials Management Team. We have a newly created Inventory Management System Team which resides under the Deputy Head of Supply Chain and works alongside the Supply Chain Team. We are seeking to appoint the IMS Senior Business Change Manager to work as part of this newly formed team and to assist the procurement vision to deliver a state of the art Inventory Management System. The IMS Senior Business Change Manager will play an active role in supporting the management and delivery of the new Inventory Management System (IMS) project in support of the Trust's business and service objectives.
