We are excited to share an excellent opportunity for an experienced Procurement Officer to become part of the Procurement Team within Legal Services at the Isle of Wight Council. This is a full-time, permanent position offering flexible working arrangements. The Council’s Corporate Procurement Team plays a vital role in delivering expert support across a broad spectrum of procurement activities.

This position will be integral in ensuring the Council’s procurement and contract activities remain fully compliant with current legislation and covering the full end to end procurement process. As part of a friendly and dynamic team of eight, the successful candidate will contribute to maximising savings and enhancing outcomes when spending public money in commissioning services, goods, and works, covering all requirements within the Adult Social Care and Housing directorate.

Previous demonstrable experience in public procurement is essential, alongside strong organisational skills and the capacity to quickly grasp new concepts.
