This includes processing orders, checking deliveries, issuing stock and keeping inventory records accurate and up to date. You will also support stocktakes and reconciliations, investigating any differences and helping the team maintain an efficient and cost-effective approach to stockholding and distribution. A key part of the role involves preparing and delivering goods across Trust locations and ambulance stations. Deliveries may range from medical supplies and medicines to post, patient clinical records and sensitive IT or communications equipment. You will plan practical routes, complete the necessary vehicle and journey records, and take responsibility for keeping all items safe, secure and confidential while in transit. Where appropriately authorised, you may also collect, handle and distribute Morphine Sulphate, as well as support the safe disposal and recording of out-of-date medicines in line with legal and Trust requirements. Alongside these responsibilities, you will respond to enquiries, assist with project work and help maintain the delivery vehicle. You will provide cover for the Supply and Delivery Controller when required, ensuring the service continues to run smoothly.
