The Grimsby Institute Group is a large, innovative, and financially sound organisation. We are officially “good” and aim to be an “outstanding” educational provider in the next two years.

The Grimsby Institute Group has an excellent record of growth and diversification and is rated as “Outstanding” in respect of its finances and Ofsted Good with Outstanding features for its provision. 

We are now seeking an innovative Purchasing Manager to maintain this momentum. You will explore further opportunities for maximising income and generating contract savings to support the Group’s commercial strategy. We are looking for an experienced Purchasing Manager with a track record in European and National Procurement Regulations, and able to demonstrate key contract savings.

You will thrive in a fast paced and challenging environment and demonstrate proven ability to lead and advise colleagues at all levels.

Further Education experience would be an advantage but this should not deter outstanding candidates who are able to quickly get to grips with the sector.
