The three Partner Trusts have set an objective of creating a single procurement function which will help support the sustainable provision of clinical and non-clinical services.

A newly formed Humber & North Yorkshire Procurement Collaborative, hosted by Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, will provide procurement and supply chain services to its Partner Trusts, and may extend over time to service other bodies within the Integrated Care System.

You will work as an Assistant Buyer across all Partner Trusts as a credible procurement professional providing advice and guidance to clinical and corporate colleagues.

You will encourage collaboration between Care Groups and Procurement across all Partner Trusts to maximise procurement and commercial outcomes for the patients in our care.

You will, through the agreed policies and procedures, contribute to the delivery of a range of procurement services throughout the Partner Trusts.

You can choose your base from a wide range of sites across Hull, York, Scarborough, Grimsby and Scunthorpe.

Working independently within policies and procedures you will undertake a range of procurement activity but will have the ability to escalate any concerns where required.

You will present the procurement collaborative as a progressive, responsive and innovative group who provide new thinking which works collaboratively to positively influence others’ perception concerning the value of effective and efficient procurement services.

You will deliver and report on financial savings and value for money through procurement projects to achieve target financial savings.

During the application and interview process applicants are expected to evidence how procurement can support good quality care, financial
balance and support the creation of new and existing teams.

You may want to take time reflecting about how you might support us to:

1. Get procurement closer to our customer.
2. Move as close to a single way of working across all three trust.
3. Build category strategies which consider how appropriate it is to buy as one versus those instances where buying locally gives us the
best outcome.
4. Challenge how we buy – is it right or could we do things differently?
5. Explore and embed innovation.
6. Ensure there is earlier engagement with our customers to make a difference.
7. Support standardisation.

The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest acute and community Partnership arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.

Made up of two Trusts - Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) - our Partnership has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world-class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.

Together we employ nearly 20,000 staff. Our five main hospital sites are Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Scunthorpe General Hospital and Goole and District Hospital, for NLAG and Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital for HUTH.

As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we both lead and contribute to research in many areas - biomedical research, primary care, palliative medicine, cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, vascular surgery, cancer surgery and oncology.

We believe that by developing a diverse, inclusive, innovative, skilled and caring workforce, we can deliver excellent care to our patients and a great future for our employees, our Partnership and our community.
