SUBJECT TO CONTRACT AWARD
At Shaw Trust, we believe everyone has the right to live a decent and dignified life and the opportunity for rewarding work. We are a social purpose organisation challenging inequality and breaking down barriers to enable social mobility.
For us, being part of the solution is about creating the conditions for this to happen, advocating for and delivering services that make a real difference. Working in partnership, not competition, we are part of an ecosystem of purpose-led organisations striving for a fairer, more equal society centred on opportunity for all.
Are you highly organised, proactive and passionate about supporting services that transform lives through employment, inclusion and wellbeing? Do you enjoy building relationships, coordinating activity and ensuring operational processes run smoothly across a network of delivery partners?
We're looking for an organised and motivated IPS Supply Chain Coordinator to join our team, subject to the successful award of a new contract in West Yorkshire covering Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield and Kirklees.
About The Role
As an IPS Supply Chain Coordinator, you will play a key role in supporting the effective management of Shaw Trust's delivery partner network, helping to ensure high-quality Individual Placement and Support (IPS) services are delivered consistently across the contract area and contribute to positive employment outcomes for participants.
Working closely with the IPS Supply Chain Manager and wider operational teams, you will coordinate partner communications, governance processes, performance reporting and contract administration activities that support effective supply chain management, IPS fidelity requirements and high-quality service delivery.
You will provide administrative support to the management of delivery partners and subcontracted organisations, ensuring contract documentation, management information, quality assurance activity and compliance records are accurately maintained and monitored. You will also support the organisation of partner meetings, reviews and governance activities, helping to ensure delivery partners are equipped with the information and guidance they need to deliver successful services.
