The NHS Procurement Graduate Training Scheme offers graduates an opportunity to develop a career in Procurement within various NHS organisations across England. It will allow you to gain experience in buying, contract management, materials management and many more areas within procurement. The graduate programme will give you a unique insight into how the NHS organisation works.
NHS organisations recognise and actively promote the benefits of a diverse workforce and are committed to treating all employees with dignity and respect regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation. We therefore welcome applications from all sections of the community.
All roles are open for applicants with a valid visa. In order to be eligible for the scheme, you must be living in the UK and have been resident in the country for at least 3 years (not for educational purposes) prior to September 2022. Previous candidates need not apply.

An element of remote working is to be expected with many of the roles.
You may apply for multiple roles (maximum 8) within the graduate scheme.
