We are looking for an experienced manager, to lead our Pathology Stores and Logistics service based at the Leicester Royal Infirmary.
The post holder will manage a team of 25 staff and be responsible for the Pathology receipts and distribution centre. Ensuring pathology consumables are available and delivered to all customers across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Ideally applicants would have previous stock management, logistics or NHS experience.
· Accountable for managing all aspects of the Pathology Stores facilities, including Leicestershire Pathology Transport services and postal systems.
· Managing the electronic inventory system to ensure that stock levels are always maintained.
· Managing a fleet of vehicles and leasing contract, including accident investigations and insurance issues.
· Ensuring both drivers and vehicles are available to enable patient samples to be collected, analysed, and reported.
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.
