About the job
At Choice Support, everything we do is about enabling people to live the lives they choose. As a charity, we are committed to delivering high-quality services while ensuring every pound we spend creates the greatest possible impact.
To support this, I’m looking to bring in an experienced Interim Procurement Specialist to work closely with me and help shape how procurement supports our mission. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to play a key role in a purpose-led organisation—moving beyond transactional procurement to something that genuinely adds value to the people we support.
About the role
You will take ownership of procurement across the organisation, helping us build a modern, effective, and values-led procurement approach.
Working with senior leaders, you will:
- Help design and implement a procurement strategy aligned to our charitable objectives
- Ensure we achieve value for money, so more of our resources can be directed to frontline services
- Shape and lead end-to-end procurement activity across a wide range of categories
- Strengthen supplier relationships, ensuring quality, reliability and shared values
- Improve contract management, governance, and compliance
- Support the organisation to make better, more informed commercial decisions

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.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a broad and impactful role where procurement will be positioned as a key business partner to the wider organisation.
Hours

Experience in the charity or public sector would be beneficial, but not essential—we welcome candidates who are motivated by purpose and want to apply their skills in a values-driven environment.
Why this role matters
Good procurement in a charity isn’t just about cost—it’s about ensuring sustainability, enabling growth, and ultimately supporting better outcomes for the people we serve. If that’s something you care about, I’d love to hear from you.
