Positions such as procurement assistant, procurement support officer, and commercial apprenticeships regularly appear on our site. This financial year, we've advertised roles including procurement assistant positions at local councils and apprenticeship programmes within central government. While most procurement vacancies are at experienced level, entry-level opportunities do come through, particularly apprenticeship routes like the Level 3 Procurement and Supply Assistant.

Question 4

Can you work weekends in procurement?

Accepted Answer

Procurement activities such as tendering, contract management, and supplier negotiations follow standard business schedules.
