Procurement Manager

Join our award-winning Procurement Team and play a key role in shaping a safe, modern and efficient NHS estate. As a shared service supporting Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust, Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust and Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, our procurement function works collaboratively across the entire BSW Hospitals Group to deliver consistent, high-quality commercial support and strong value for money.

We are looking to recruit into a Fixed Term Contract in the Procurement Team for 12 months. This is a temporary role but there may be the opportunity for a permanent role in the future, but this cannot be guaranteed.

In this role, you'll work closely with Estates and Facilities teams across all three trusts to deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions that support safe patient environments and excellent operational performance. You'll manage end-to-end procurement activity, negotiate strong commercial agreements, support compliance with procurement regulations, and contribute to the delivery of sustainability and social value goals.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships, solving problems and influencing positive change across multiple hospital sites. If you're commercially minded, confident managing complex projects, and keen to make a visible impact across the BSW region, we'd love you to join us.
