What you’ll do

We’re excited to announce we have a brand-new opportunity for a Procurement Administrator to join our busy Procurement Team based in Eastleigh.

No two days will be the same in this role so enthusiasm, a can-do attitude, and a genuine passion for doing the right thing is essential.

You will play a key role in supporting the team with its procurement strategy and vision for the future. Therefore, we are looking for someone who has excellent administration and communications skills, with the ability to build and establish strong working relationships with colleagues and Abri’s supply chain.

You will also have an eye for detail and the confidence to bring new and innovative ways of working that will help us to continuously evolve and improve our services supporting us in being the best we can.

Working hours and days are negotiable.

About us 

We’re Abri, a housing association based in the south of England. One of the largest in fact. We’ve got 35,000 homes and 1,500 colleagues. And if all our 80,000 residents lived in the same place, we’d have a town roughly the size of Guildford.

We’re a passionate bunch. We think we can make a real difference. Homelessness, poverty, inequality, a lack of affordable housing. They’re all linked. They’re issues that affect so many, young and old alike. And we don’t think that’s right. We want to give people the chance to dream big and be who they want to be. Homes are at the heart of everybody’s lives. And we exist to help make good homes, and good lives a reality for everyone.

About you 

We’ve all got different backgrounds, strengths and experiences. But we share the same values. It’s these shared values that bring us together as one team.

Our colleagues embrace these every day. Be the difference to our customers and colleagues, always curious and look for better solutions, achieve together by working in partnership with others, own it openly through working with others in an open and honest way, and finally embrace possibility and see changes and challenges as welcomed opportunities.

If you share our values and want to make a real difference in the world, you’re on to a winner and we’d love to hear from you!

What you can expect from us

We want our colleagues at all levels to be bold, inspiring and not afraid to speak up and be their authentic selves.

Your wellbeing is really important to us, so you can expect a competitive reward package to ensure you and your family are supported at work and at home.  You’ll receive 28 days of annual leave a year (pro-rata for our part time colleagues) with Bank Holidays on top as well as being entitled to our generous pension scheme.

We’ll work with you to help you reach your goals through personal development plans and our in-house People Development team.

​​​​​​​Be yourself 

Abri is committed to promoting an inclusive culture. We want our colleagues to bring their individual differences, life experiences and knowledge into the workplace and we welcome their contribution to our amazing company. Everyone is different, everyone is unique.

Interviews will be held on 7 December and 8 December 2022 either via Microsoft Teams and/or at one of our offices.

We’re not looking to add to our preferred supplier list right now but if you’d like to be considered at a future date please don’t hesitate to register on our procurement portal.
