About us
Centrepoint is the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity. We support vulnerable young people by providing safe accommodation, health support, life skills and pathways into education, training and employment. Our ambition is to end youth homelessness by 2037.
Working alongside our partners, we support over 16,000 young people each year.
About the role
Procurement plays a critical role at Centrepoint, supporting services across England and managing relationships with over 1,100 suppliers. As Procurement Officer, you’ll work closely with the Head of Procurement and Procurement Manager to translate Centrepoint’s procurement strategy into practical, value-driven outcomes.
You’ll deliver end-to-end procurement activity across a range of categories, including Direct Marketing, Facilities Management and Services, influencing spend decisions, driving value for money, and ensuring compliance with procurement policy and regulatory requirements.
This is a varied and hands-on role, requiring strong stakeholder engagement, sound commercial judgement and a proactive approach to improving procurement processes and systems. You’ll also play an important part in ensuring procurement activity delivers social value, supporting Centrepoint’s mission to end youth homelessness.
Centrepoint operates a hybrid working model
The requirement is a minimum of 50% of your working week in the office. For most full-time colleagues, this means attending the office for five days over a two-week period (for example, two days one week and three days the next). This will be adjusted accordingly for part-time or compressed hours contracts.
What you’ll be doing
- Delivering end-to-end procurement activity, including market analysis, supplier sourcing, tendering, evaluation, negotiation and contract award
- Acting as a category lead across key areas of spend, working closely with stakeholders to embed procurement early in project planning
- Managing supplier relationships, supporting contract negotiations and leading regular contract reviews to ensure performance against KPIs and SLAs
- Supporting the development and continuous improvement of procurement systems, processes and controls, including supplier onboarding and contract registers
- Reviewing supplier risk and compliance, ensuring adherence to Centrepoint’s Procurement Policy and relevant legislation
- Analysing spend data, benchmarking costs and identifying opportunities to deliver savings and efficiencies
- Maintaining accurate procurement records, including key contracts registers and supplier databases
- Providing advice, guidance and training to colleagues across the organisation to promote best practice procurement and value for money
About you
You’ll be a capable and motivated procurement professional with experience supporting procurement activity in a complex or multi-stakeholder environment. You’ll be confident managing multiple priorities and engaging effectively with colleagues and suppliers to deliver compliant, value-driven outcomes.
You’ll bring:
- Experience delivering procurement activity, including tendering, supplier evaluation, negotiation and contract award
- Strong numerical and analytical skills, with the ability to interrogate spend data and identify opportunities for savings and efficiencies
- The confidence to influence and advise stakeholders at all levels, embedding procurement best practice across the organisation
- Experience managing supplier relationships and supporting effective contract management
- Strong attention to detail, with the ability to maintain accurate records and documentation
- Good IT skills, including experience using procurement, purchasing or finance systems
You’ll be organised, professional and collaborative in your approach, with a genuine interest in improving procurement processes and outcomes. A commitment to continuous professional development is important, and you’ll be keen to develop your procurement expertise, including working towards or holding a CIPS qualification.
Most importantly, you’ll be aligned with Centrepoint’s values and motivated by the opportunity to use procurement as a tool for social impact, helping us move closer to ending youth homelessness.
Why join Centrepoint?
In return for your efforts, you’ll receive a competitive salary, excellent training and development opportunities, and a comprehensive benefits package including:
- 25 days annual leave per year, rising to 27 with service
- Healthcare cash plan (including dental, optical and complementary therapies)
- Private medical insurance
- Income protection
