Job description

Job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen to work in the theatre department, managing the stock and equipment, and ordering items for use in the clinical environment.

This is a busy role working across several disciplines working closely with the theatre teams and the management team. The role is part of a small team working closely together.

Main duties of the job

The main responsibilities include:

• Using the Trust procurement systems i.e. Integra and NHS Supply Chain to order stock items.
• Carrying out stock management tasks, i.e. stock location, reordering, stock put away and housekeeping within the relevant areas.
• Communication at all levels within the job role is vital in relation to the requirements of the various teams.
