Summary
This is a chance for you to cement your own reputation, as the Procurement team is starting to flourish, enjoying greater visibility and influence within the organisation and across the region. This will be vital in embedding more consistency and accountability in procurement and commissioning activity across the hospital. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the hospital and across the South West London Acute Provider Collaborative to review current practice, identify areas to develop and achieve better value for money which we can be re-invested into patient care. The ability to adapt quickly to the context of the NHS is important – we’ll want you to be proactive in engaging with other service areas and to be able to ask the right questions around how goods and services are currently procured.
We are looking for individuals who are strong communicators, with excellent analytical skills, a methodical approach, who strive for ownership, who want to engage with and influence a large array of stakeholders, and make a difference to patient care.
As the Clinical Category Manager, you will provide a proactive category management and procurement service to the 4 Trusts across South West London, covering strategic advice and operational matters, operating as a recognised, trusted and influential business partner and ensuring that the service is efficient, cost effective and responsive to the changing needs of South West London and wider NHS.
This role also involves you delivering demonstrable cash releasing savings annually as part of the services’ cost improvement programmes and meeting key performance and efficiency targets.
St George’s Hospital is one of four major trauma centres for London, and home to hyper acute stroke and heart attack centres. We operate one of London’s four helipads, which means that we treat some of the most unwell and severely injured patients from across the south of England. We are one of London’s largest children’s hospitals, with one of only four paediatric trauma units in London.
