Supply Chain Manager
Regional Office Worker - Site & Community based (Covering Newcastle, Gateshead & Middlesborough)
Salary: Starting from £40,000 per annum + Package
About the Role
Can you build strong partner relationships while keeping a sharp grip on performance, quality, risk, and accountability?
We are looking for an experienced Supply Chain Manager to oversee appointed subcontractors delivering key parts of the Youth Jobs Guarantee. You will be the main operational contact for partners once they are appointed. This is not a procurement or partner-sourcing role: it is about helping providers mobilise well, deliver confidently, improve quickly, and meet the standards expected of a high-profile public service.
Using performance data, quality findings, and risk insight, you will provide practical support, constructive challenge, and clear follow-through so partners deliver safe, consistent, and effective services for young people.
What You Will Be Doing
- Manage appointed subcontractors as their main operational contact, with clear expectations, strong relationships, and accountable ways of working.
- Lead mobilisation and readiness, ensuring delivery plans, staffing, systems, policies, controls, and evidence requirements are in place.
- Monitor performance, quality, and risk through data, dashboards, audits, reviews, site visits, and operational insight.
- Drive improvement by agreeing actions, supporting partners, challenging underperformance, and escalating issues where needed.
- Maintain assurance and due diligence, working closely with Quality, Compliance, Safeguarding, Finance, Legal, and Digital colleagues.
- Protect contractual and financial integrity through evidence checks, payment queries, change control, audit trails, and clear governance reporting.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
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.
Qualifications
- Experience of managing subcontractors, suppliers, delivery partners, or externally provided services in a regulated or performance-led environment. Employment services, skills, youth provision, health, justice, local government, or wider public services would all be relevant.
- Confident in building trust without avoiding difficult conversations.
- Support partners to succeed, but act quickly when performance, controls, evidence, or participant experience are not good enough.
- Analytical, organized, and commercially aware, able to understand what is driving performance, agree what needs to happen next, and keep momentum until action is complete.
- Understanding of the basics of contract and commercial management, including specifications, performance measures, payment arrangements, due diligence, audit requirements, and change control.
