About You

  • Do you have experience of working in the public sector within roles related to procurement / contract management?

  • Are you able to advise, guide and support people to undertake procurement that is both compliant with best practice as well as outcome-focussed?
  • Can you come up with new ideas, solve problems and create strong connections across the business and the wider sector?

    If the answers are YES, then we’d love to hear from you!!

    The Opportunity
    We are currently recruiting for a Procurement Officer, who will work with our Procurement Manager, to undertake a wide variety of procurement activity across SHG. You will contribute to the delivery of our Mission and Aims, where the customer is at the heart of everything we do.

    This is a unique role within the business where you can develop, shape and embed processes, coming up with new ideas and creative solutions. You will be working with a range of people across the business to ensure SHG is compliant with legislative requirements as well as focussing on outcomes for our customers.

    You will need to have a sound understanding of the public procurement requirements – both current and emerging – and how these affect SHG. You will be able to develop and implement policies and procedures and get key stakeholders on board with new ways of working. This will require great organisational, project management and influencing skills!

    We are looking for someone who can spot opportunities for change and make things happen. You will be at the forefront of our proactive procurement approaches that ensure that SHG delivers value for money, improved service delivery for our customers, enhanced inclusivity and wider social value which benefits our local communities.

    Our ideal candidate will:
  • Be an effective communicator and collaborator
  • Be a great problem solver
  • Be able to work both independently and in a team
  • Have great analytical skills, and
  • Be able to successfully manage a varied, complex workload.

    We encourage you to apply early! We may close the vacancy sooner if we find the right candidate.

    Ready to take on this exciting challenge? We can’t wait to hear from you!

    This is a full-time position (37 hours over 5 days) but if you would like to discuss an alternate working pattern or reduced hours, then please let us know as part of your application. We are open to supporting people to work in a way that suits their own work / life balance and other commitments you may have.

    This position is based at our modern town centre head office alongside which there are opportunities to work flexibly (including from home) which suit both SHG and you. This provides flexibility to our people as we deliver outcomes to our customers and meet business needs.

    Stockport Homes Group is a vibrant organisation committed to building strong collaborative relationships locally, regionally, and nationally. We are passionate about providing housing, building new homes in Stockport, and transforming the lives of our customers. Our mission is to provide comfortable and affordable homes while actively engaging with customers and communities.

    The SHG “Be You” approach sums up our belief that everyone has the right to be who they are, and to be that person at work, in line with SHG’s Values. We’re always looking to improve diversity within our teams to enhance this culture and to be truly representative of the communities we work in.

    We understand that if you don't meet every requirement, you may be hesitant to apply but we still want to hear from you and encourage you to submit an application detailing your experiences, achievements, and the value you can bring to our team.

    This role will be on Stockport Homes Limited terms and conditions.
