About the Role
The Housing Management Service at Hackney is undergoing transformation to better meet the evolving needs of our residents. Housing remains a critical priority, with a commitment to maintaining the highest standards across 30,000 council homes. Following the return of our ALMO twenty months ago, we have set a new vision and pace for Housing services.

The Procurement Coordinator is a vital role within the Property and Asset Management team, responsible for supporting multi-million pound procurement projects from inception to completion. This role covers the full spectrum of Property services including Property and Asset Management, Building Maintenance, and Building Safety.

As a Procurement Coordinator, you will provide essential support to the Procurement Category Manager and officers by managing a comprehensive pipeline of procurement activities. Your focus will be on ensuring all contracts are executed on schedule while adhering strictly to internal governance protocols and the Procurement Act 2023.
