For us, being part of the solution involves creating conditions for positive change, advocating, and delivering services that make a real difference. We work in partnership, not competition, as part of an eco-system of purpose-led organizations striving for a fairer, more equal society centered on opportunity for all.

Purpose

This role involves actively managing Shaw Trust's supply chain partners to ensure they meet their contractual obligations, achieve targets, and comply with regulations. It includes building and maintaining relationships with community and specialist partners to provide MSK Trailblazer participants with suitable progression opportunities and assist them in finding jobs. The role also focuses on continuously improving the existing supply chain and participant base to maximize growth and outcome delivery, as well as supporting the development of the supply chain to expand delivery capabilities within the MSK Trailblazer Programme and explore new opportunities. This may involve building a strong network of supply chain and alliance partners across areas like social inclusion, health, equality, and sustainable development.

The post holder will ensure the efficient coordination of all activities to deliver effective services to the end user, optimizing resource use, ensuring quality, and responding to user needs. Market stewardship involves overseeing and shaping our services to ensure they function effectively and sustainably for the long-term benefit of all users and stakeholders, promoting fair practices, addressing systemic risks, and encouraging effective service delivery models.
