The postholder is responsible for the successful operation of the print room, ensuring requests for printing are fulfilled quickly and efficiently.

The role also provides support to print-related projects led by their line manager, the Print and Programme Manager.

Main duties of the job

This role reports to the Print and Programme Manager and supports them in the delivery of a timely, cost-effective printing service and print buying service to the Trust.

The postholder will help to establish print buying systems and processes and communicate these to potential customers across the Trust.

This is a supervisory role, guiding a Print Room and Reception Assistant and temporary members of the small team through day-to-day tasks, and it also requires the postholder to carry out printing using the print room's four production devices.

Ensuring the correct procurement processes are followed by the print room team and securing best value for the Trust are two key responsibilities.

This involves recommending print solutions and presenting these to service users.
