Maintain and update data records on shared drives and eSourcing portals, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
Act as a key support to the Associate Director of Procurement in driving change and continuous development within the procurement function.
Develop a strong understanding of internal and external client needs and respond to enquiries within agreed timescales.

Work with the Senior Procurement Manager to ensure all required documentation is in place, including sub‑contractor agreements, insurance certificates and accreditation documentation where required.
Work with the Head of Patient Engagement to identify and liaise with relevant patient advocate networks, organisations and charities to support HQIP‑commissioned programmes.
Support patient and stakeholder engagement through monitoring activity, attending meetings and focus groups, and assisting with the presentation of findings.
Present a positive and professional image of HQIP at all times, maintaining effective working relationships with colleagues, external partners and stakeholders, and demonstrating a proactive, positive approach.
