Summary
An exciting opportunity exists for a Procurement Business Partner for Soft FM within the Procurement and eCommerce Department to manage the non-pay and strategic sourcing of all Soft FM commercial activity. This is a high-profile hands-on leadership role, and the successful applicant needs to balance strategic with tactical operational priorities, often on a daily basis. No day at Barts Health NHS Trust is the same and if you have a can do attitude, you will flourish in this role. Resilience and energy are of paramount importance. The role will report to the Deputy Director of Sourcing and manage and coach a small sourcing team of 2 staff ranging from an apprentice to a senior procurement specialist. Over the last few years, Barts Procurement have embarked on an ambitious journey to shape the strategic direction of the Department with a specific focus on up-skilling Commercial and soft skills. We launched a Well Being and Training initiative to support our staff with the necessary management and people skills to thrive in this demanding environment and contribute towards a single team ethos. The Department recently achieved Gold status or 97% through formal accreditation of the NHS Commercial Services CCIAF. A commercial contract management function has also been set up to address value leakage and foster innovation with strategic suppliers. In 12 months time, the Procurement Department will look to re-organise into a Procurement Collaborative to achieve best value for money and patient care. To support our ambitious journey, we are seeking a talented leader with a can do attitude to join our Sourcing team. To succeed in this role, you will need to move at pace, be engaging and flexible and possess the right behaviours. This is in addition to an aptitude for sourcing, supplier engagement and stakeholder management. We are dedicated to being an outstanding place to work and will work with you to get the best experience. We know flexible working is not a one size fits all and will mean something different to everyone. We are inclusive, so if you are interested in flexible working, please speak to the recruiting manager.
