Supply and Delivery Operative

Job summary

There has never been a better time to join the Trust's Supply and Delivery Service as a Supply and Delivery Operative. We have recently been through a restructure so within our Supply and Delivery team structure it allows for growth, development and progression if a candidate is looking for this.

We have introduced a new stock management system using scanners to manage the consumables, PPE and beverages both on site and out at stations. This ensuring crews don't have to spend time ordering stocks they can spend as much time with patients giving them the best care possible. This role is now completely managed by the Supply and Delivery Service against agreed min/max stock levels.

The team is now working hard to refine, the process, looking for efficiencies, reducing stock holding so reducing wastage in the Trust and the wider NHS. You can be part of this process.
