Make a real difference in your community 

Are you passionate about helping others live safer, healthier, more independent lives? Join our team at Waythrough and support people facing challenges around mental health, substance use, housing or domestic abuse. This is more than just a job – it’s a chance to build meaningful relationships and create lasting change.

About the Role

As a Procurement Administrator at Waythrough, you’ll provide vital administrative and operational support to the Procurement team, helping ensure procurement processes run smoothly, compliantly and efficiently across the organisation. Working closely with the Procurement Manager and wider colleagues, you’ll support contract management, reporting, systems administration and continuous improvement activity. This is a great opportunity for someone who is highly organised, detail-focused and keen to develop their experience within a purpose-driven, values-led organisation.

Key Duties

• Provide day-to-day administrative support to the Procurement function, including project and process rollouts

• Manage the procurement inbox, responding to routine queries and escalating complex issues where appropriate

• Support the RFQ process when required, including use of existing contracts and aggregation opportunities

• Maintain and update the contracts register, monitoring renewals, extensions and terminations

• Ensure procurement documentation is accurate, compliant, securely stored and correctly branded

• Use Workday and other systems to access supplier spend data and produce reports

• Publish notices on the eTendering platform in line with procurement regulations

• Support collaboration across teams, promote approved suppliers and contribute to service improvements

• Uphold data protection, governance requirements and Waythrough’s values at all times

About You

You’ll be a proactive and well-organised administrator with strong attention to detail and experience working in a busy office or procurement environment. You’ll be confident using Microsoft Office, comfortable managing multiple tasks and able to communicate clearly with a range of internal and external stakeholders.

Most importantly, you’ll share Waythrough’s values of kindness, courage and respect, and be motivated by working for an organisation that makes a real difference.
