Job description

Medical Procurement and Logistics Coordinator

Hours: Full time

Pay: £34,700 GBP gross per annum (dependent on experience)

Duration: Permanent contract

Location: UK-Med Office, Manchester, UK (hybrid working) with an expectation of approximately 15% international travel/deployment, as required by UK-Med

Can you help ensure lifesaving medical supplies reach the people who need them when disaster strikes?

UK-Med is a frontline medical aid charity founded on the values and expertise of the NHS. For more than 30 years, we have worked towards a world where everyone gets the healthcare they need when emergencies overwhelm local health services.

We are looking for a Medical Procurement and Logistics Coordinator to strengthen the way we procure, manage and move essential medical supplies and equipment for our humanitarian programmes and emergency responses.

Based primarily at our Manchester warehouse, you will provide dedicated capacity across our Procurement and Warehouse teams, coordinating the full supply-chain pathway from purchasing and receipt through to storage, stock management, shipping and dispatch.

With a particular focus on pharmaceuticals, medical consumables and medical equipment, you will help maintain accurate, compliant and deployment-ready stock. Working closely with our Supply Chain Manager, Warehouse Manager and Pharmacist, you will support the day-to-day operational management of medical commodities while ensuring appropriate pharmaceutical standards and controls are followed.

We’re looking for an organised and solutions-focused supply-chain professional with experience across procurement, inventory management, warehousing or logistics. You will be confident working with suppliers, maintaining accurate stock and procurement records and coordinating activities across different teams. Experience handling medical supplies, pharmaceutical products or equipment would be particularly valuable.

The role requires approximately 15% international travel and deployment-normally around six to eight weeks per year. During deployments, you may support procurement, warehouse and stock management, international shipping, distribution and emergency resupply, working closely with clinical, logistics and programme colleagues.

You’ll join a collaborative team and play a vital role in strengthening the systems that enable UK-Med to respond quickly and effectively when emergencies happen.

• We offer a competitive salary and benefits, a friendly working environment and the opportunity to make a real difference through humanitarian work.
