We are looking for a new Buyer to join our Procurement Team and support the function with all elements of delivering the Goods and Services required to support a Mental Health Trust.
Each Buyer within the team has their own areas of responsibility and specialism and this role is no different, therefore we are looking for someone with exceptional administration skills, an eye for detail, a great can-do attitude, and willingness to learn.
The successful candidate will be a critical member of the team and be able to work within a busy corporate office and have the skills and abilities to manage their own workloads.
The team is based across two sites, so this role will be required to travel between offices when required. The team is currently working from home and meeting regularly across the Trust's geography. Applicants should be aware that this may be subject to change.
Please note that any interviews will be conducted remotely.
Main duties of the job
Main duties will include, but are not exhaustive to:
1. Maintaining and keeping all information and records up to date, ensuring customers can easily identify goods and service requirements, and that internal records are complete.
2. Providing customers with information to make informed best practice decisions and supporting them through systems and processes.
3. Sourcing and negotiating on best prices for items and services required.
4. Dealing tactfully with customers in stressful or urgent situations.
