Procurement Officer in Warrington

This is an exciting opportunity for a Procurement Officer to join our Procurement Team within the Corporate Services Department. It is a great time to join the Procurement Team at Your Housing Group as we are supporting the business with a wide range of sourcing and contract activity including our new systems programme, planned investment works and more. Our Procurement Officer has completed her apprenticeship to obtain CIPS Level 4 and has now been promoted to Procurement Business Partner, so we are looking for our next Procurement Officer.

If you are passionate about procurement, wanting to enhance your tendering, sourcing and contract experience across a wide range of categories, and deliver real results enabling social and commercial value, this role is for you.

What will my working week look like?

You will be homebased, living within the North West, within a reasonable travelling distance of our Head Office in Warrington, to attend meetings and training courses when needed. Realistically, you will be required to visit our Head Office approximately 2 times per week. You will work closely with a wide variety of stakeholders and suppliers, becoming a trusted member of the Procurement Team, helping colleagues navigate procurement with confidence and clarity. Expect variety, visibility and the chance to make a noticeable difference across the business.

What will I be responsible for doing?

First and foremost, you will support the Head of Procurement and Procurement Business Partners to design and deliver procurement strategies, working closely with internal and external stakeholders. You will also lead on your own lower value procurement projects working closely with stakeholders to deliver quality results for the Group. One of the great things about this role is the breadth of categories and variety that you will gain exposure to and experience of. The role ensures compliance with the Procurement Act 2023, managing contract administration and reporting for the team.

And what would make me stand out from the crowd?

To be successful as a Procurement Officer here at YHG, you will have:

• Experience in a buying role or of supporting procurement projects
• Ability to manage multiple projects
• Good communication skills
• Computer literacy (using Microsoft suite and other finance software)
• Good time management and attention to detail

Ideally you will be:

• Collaborative and helpful
• Authentic and honest
• Resilient and act with integrity

This role is really suited to someone who likes to use their procurement skills to make a difference. This role also offers genuine progression opportunities and YHG would be happy to support the right individual in undertaking their apprenticeship in procurement and supply to gain CIPS qualification and eventually MCIPS. If you are ready to take the next step in your procurement career, we would love to hear from you.

What’s in it for me?

In return we offer £35,000-40,000 for a 35-hour week, and 25 days annual leave (holidays also increase with time served) plus Bank Holidays, but our employee offering provides much more than just a competitive salary and holiday allowance. At #TeamYHG we measure performance on outputs and quality, not hours and minutes. We offer a flexible, homeworking culture where you’re trusted to get the job done. If you need time for an appointment, the school run or an exercise class, if it fits with business needs, we’re open to what works for you too. And when you need to collaborate with your team, you can visit Youggle House – our purpose-built collaboration, wellbeing, and social space in Birchwood, Warrington.

On top of this, we’ll provide you with a great benefits package, including a contributory pension where we match whatever you choose to contribute (up to 8%), an advanced level Healthcare cash plan through Medicash, that doesn’t just provide dental and optician cashback but also health and wellbeing benefits (such as 24/7 GP Access, money back from prescriptions and alternative therapy treatments) and an amazing discount scheme that gives you access to half price cinema tickets, subsidised gym memberships and a huge range of discounts with some of the biggest high street and online names.
