Category Manager – Clinical

Job overview

Forward thinking Procurement Professionals required

It’s rare to be presented with an invitation to be part of a progressive Procurement Team at St Georges University Hospitals Foundation Trust.

St Georges is a place of ambition and potential, but to ensure that the improvement journey we have been on over the last 18 months continues to come to fruition demands leadership and resilience, and a strong team that will support the Hospital and its people.

Main duties of the job

We are currently hiring two Full-time Equivalent Category Managers within our clinical teams.

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.
