Are you a self-motivated, positive individual with interpersonal skills, an eye for detail and a passion for maximising value for money in a sustainable manner? If so, Procurement might be right for you.

What is Procurement?
Procurement is a strategic function that is involved in every activity in obtaining goods and services from global markets that an organisation needs to support its daily operations.

This includes, market research, sourcing and contract development to name a few.

It delivers these goods and services, achieving best value for money, whilst minimising risk to both the organisation and the environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to start a career in Procurement. The first 12 months of the apprenticeship will provide you with a level 3 qualification in Business Administration.

This, together with 12 months working experience in a fast paced, multi-site procurement function will form a solid base for the Level 4 diploma in Procurement and Supply, provided by the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) of which you will be enrolled as a student member.

All course training, material, memberships and exam fees are fully funded.
