About the Role
Join a friendly, high-performing team at the forefront of transformation, where procurement plays a key role in shaping future services. This is not a traditional procurement role. It offers a more strategic focus, with the opportunity to lead complex healthcare procurements and shape and secure services that directly impact patient care.
You’ll work across a varied and evolving portfolio, collaborating with clinical, operational and system partners to influence decisions and bring new ideas to life. The work is dynamic, visible and genuinely makes a difference.
We offer a supportive and flexible environment, with real autonomy to manage your own workload. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that values trust, development and shared success. The role is hybrid, with just one day per week in the office.
This is a great opportunity to grow your career in an ambitious and forward-looking area of the organisation, where procurement is central to change and improvement.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end procurement activity, ensuring compliant and effective tender processes.
- Deliver savings, efficiencies and wider social value benefits.
- Develop category strategies and forward procurement plans.
- Build strong stakeholder relationships and influence decision making.
- Provide expert advice on procurement legislation, governance and best practice.
- Manage multiple complex projects, delivering to time and quality expectations.
- Support continuous improvement of procurement processes and tools.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
