What you will bring to the role A sharp eye for stock — you know your way around inventory management, you understand the procurement life cycle and the importance of stock rotation
Scanner confidence — handheld devices don’t scare you in fact, you and a barcode scanner make an unstoppable duo.
Experience with ordering systems — whether it’s Oracle, NHS Supply Chain, Supply X or similar systems, you can navigate them without breaking a sweat.
A communication style that lands — clear, friendly, professional and effective, whether you’re writing an email or chatting with colleagues.
Solid computer skills — you are confident in the use of Microsoft Office applications including word and excel.
A true team spirit — there’s no ‘I’ in team, but there is in “initiative,” and you’ve got both. You’re just as comfortable collaborating with others as you are working independently and you enjoy connecting with teams across the Trust.
