Procurement Officer

Candidates must possess the necessary right to work authorisation to enable them to work for Chesterfield Borough Council. Regrettably, we are unable to provide sponsorship or assume sponsorship of an employment visa at this juncture.

We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced procurement officer to join our procurement team.

You will be an integral part of our finance directorate, working closely with key stakeholders to support the delivery of a diverse range of procurement activity within the context of public procurement regulations. This is an exciting opportunity to develop yourself personally and professionally, supporting procurement transformation across the council.

The ideal candidate will have or be working towards a recognised procurement qualification (CIPS level 4) and have an understanding of Public Procurement Regulations.

The role is full-time and offers the flexibility to operate a hybrid working arrangement (two/three days per week in the office).

Working in local government is a highly satisfying and rewarding experience in so many ways. In return for the contribution you'll make to our local community, you'll enjoy an excellent range of benefits, including learning and development opportunities, leave entitlement, progressive HR policies, access to the local government pension scheme, and discounted leisure membership.
