Procurement and Supply Assistant Apprentice

£19.64k per annum

Job Introduction

Do you aspire to work in a welcoming, innovative, forward-thinking, inclusive and supportive organisation? YPO might be the perfect fit for you!

With over 50 years of experience, YPO has been dedicated to supporting the public sector. Our journey began five decades ago when 13 local authorities united to streamline their purchasing needs and enhance efficiency, forming the organisation we know today.

As a 100% publicly owned entity by our 13 member authorities, we ensure that our profits are reinvested into our public sector customers, offering even greater value for money. Discover more about our company and culture at Start a career at YPO | YPO.

YPO is committed to eliminating discrimination and encouraging diversity amongst our workforce. Our aim is that our workforce will be truly representative of all sections of society and each employee feels respected and able to give their best.

About the Role

We are seeking to appoint to the role of Procurement and Supply Assistant (Level 3).

As a member of the Public Sector Customer Engagement Team, this role is integral to the function of providing an effective account management service to build excellent relationships with clients.

The role will involve maintaining accurate procurement data, supporting client communication, managing team inbox activity, and contributing to reporting and compliance processes.

Overview

This apprenticeship provides a strong foundation in procurement and supply, supporting the sourcing and purchasing of low‑value goods and services. Apprentices learn key procurement principles, policies, and procedures, including value for money, sustainability, supplier due diligence, and compliance with organisational requirements.

You’ll gain practical experience in day‑to‑day procurement activity such as benchmarking, researching, market insights, supporting quotes, maintaining records, and working with clients and internal stakeholders. On completion, apprentices are well‑placed to support procurement teams and progress into further roles or qualifications within procurement and supply.

About You

As YPO continues to expand, we are looking for a positive-minded individual to join our team. Drawing from the skills and experience section of the Job Description, we seek someone who has:

  • GCSEs (or equivalent) including English Language and Mathematics (Grade 4 or above)
  • Good attention to detail
  • Ability to follow instructions and complete tasks accurately
  • Basic written and verbal communication skills

For a detailed description of the role and required skills, please refer to the job description attached below.

What’s in it for you?

We are proud to offer a fantastic range of benefits, including:

  • Generous annual leave, from 24 days a year, plus 8 days statutory bank holidays and 3 discretionary closedown days at Christmas.
  • Local Government Pension through West Yorkshire Pension Fund
  • A comprehensive health and wellbeing package.
  • Family friendly policies
  • Subsidised canteen
  • Free parking available

To have a confidential and informal discussion about this role, or for any additional support, please contact Michelle Royce ***email_hidden*** Interviews are scheduled to take place during the second two weeks in June, in-person, at our office in Wakefield.
