As a Procurement Administration Officer, you’ll assist with requests from the MPS’s National Digital Exploitation Service (NDES) and get a great insight into how Digital Investigation Teams acquire items to boost their capabilities.

To meet the highest standards, our NDES team must have the right equipment. That means procuring a variety of items through our Procurement professionals. You will have a central role in the team, updating the procurement spreadsheet and helping to procure orders. This will involve a range of duties from collecting deliveries and asset tagging equipment to issuing items and reconciling credit card expenses.

To join us, you’ll need to be proactive and organised, with general admin skills. A natural problem solver, you’ll support improvements and communicate clearly both in person and on paper. We’re also looking for excellent IT skills, accuracy and an appreciation of security matters. A great team worker, you’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment, provide outstanding customer service and have a keen eye for detail.

In return, you can expect a competitive salary, a Civil Service pension, excellent career development, plus a rewarding role.
