The Assistant Buyer Role
As an Assistant Buyer within our local procurement team, you’ll support the effective sourcing and supply of products, helping to ensure customer demand is met in a timely and cost-efficient manner.

Working closely with Buyers, senior stakeholders, and suppliers, you’ll play an important role in day-to-day purchasing activity, supplier coordination, and stock management. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with some buying or commercial experience who is looking to develop their career further within procurement.

Support stock control activities and ensure accurate administration
Build strong working relationships across procurement, sales, and logistics teams
Contribute to the delivery of procurement strategy and wider business objectives

What you will bring
We’re looking for someone with some prior exposure to a commercial, purchasing, or supply chain environment who is keen to build a career within procurement.

Essential:

Around 12-18+ months experience within a commercial, purchasing, or buying role
Strong communication and interpersonal skills
Good attention to detail and organisational ability
Confident IT skills, including Microsoft Office
A proactive, flexible approach and willingness to learn

Desirable:

Previous experience supporting supplier negotiations
Exposure to working with multiple product lines or supplier bases
Experience of cross-functional working (sales, logistics, operations)
CIPS qualification (or interest in working towards this)

What you will get
We provide a competitive basic salary alongside a bonus scheme. Our flexible benefits package can include:

25 days annual leave (rising to 27 days with service) plus bank holidays
Additional holiday purchasing scheme
Contributory pension scheme
Free parking at most locations
Annual volunteering day
Employee assistance programme
Extensive training and development opportunities
Employee discount scheme
Simply Health/Dental or BUPA options for qualifying roles
Enhanced HR policies and long service awards
EE mobile discount scheme
Candidate referral scheme

Your future with us
At Macfarlane Group, we actively support internal progression and development. This role offers a clear pathway into Buyer and Senior Buyer positions, supported by structured training and access to recognised qualifications such as the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS).

You’ll be part of a business that invests in its people and provides the tools and opportunities to build a long-term career.
