At South East Consortium, we believe that when we work together, we deliver better outcomes for our members and the communities they serve. People are our greatest asset. We’re a small, high-trust organisation where you’re not a number; you’re part of a team that takes ownership, moves quickly and genuinely cares about doing good work.
As we move into the next phase of our strategy, the focus is clear: raising the bar on how we deliver. That means investing in capability, strengthening consistency and making sure our customers experience quality in everything we do. Joining us now is an opportunity to shape how we operate, influence what comes next and make a visible, meaningful impact. This is a unique opportunity to shape a newly created leadership role, with real visibility and impact across the organisation and its membership.
What you can expect
- A role with real impact – This is an opportunity to influence how procurement is delivered across a broad membership base, supporting organisations to achieve better outcomes for their residents. The work is visible, meaningful and directly connected to real-world impact.
- A collaborative and values-led culture – We are a small, committed organisation where relationships matter. We work closely together, support each other and take a solutions-focused approach to what we do. There is space to contribute, challenge and shape thinking.
- The opportunity to shape and build – As the organisation evolves, there is a real opportunity to influence how functions are designed, how services are delivered and how we continue to grow our capability. This is not a “steady state” role — it’s one where you can make a lasting difference.
- Leadership that values delivery and trust – We are focused on building greater consistency and raising delivery standards — delivering high-quality work, building trust with our members and creating a consistent, reliable service. You’ll be part of a Leadership Team that values clarity, accountability and outcomes.Flexibility and balance – We recognise the importance of flexibility and trust our people to manage their time effectively. We support a balanced approach to work, with hybrid working arrangements that reflect both organisational needs and individual circumstances.
- Professional growth and development – We are committed to building capability across the organisation. You’ll have the opportunity to continue developing your own skills and expertise, while also shaping the development of others and strengthening the organisation’s overall capability.
- Competitive reward package – We offer a competitive salary, car allowance, private healthcare, pension contribution and 27 days annual leave (plus bank holidays and an additional day to celebrate your birthday). You’ll also be part of a high support, high challenge environment — a place where you’re trusted, stretched and supported to do your best work.
- ED&I – We know that difference drives better thinking, better decisions and better outcomes. At SEC, we value the unique experiences, perspectives and strengths each person brings. We’re committed to creating an environment where everyone feels they belong, can be themselves and can thrive — both at work and in life.
