Purchasing Administrator

Purchasing Administrator

Radcliffe | Full-time | Mon–Fri (Early Finish Fridays)

Are you the organised, detail-focused administrator, who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes?
If you enjoy variety, working with suppliers, and being the person others rely on to get things done properly, this could be the role that finally feels right.

I’m recruiting on behalf of a well-established manufacturing business looking to add a Purchasing Administrator to their onsite team in Radcliffe. This is a stable, long-term role with strong benefits, flexible working hours, and proper training from day one.

What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)

You’ll be the backbone of the purchasing function, supporting the team so materials arrive on time and processes run smoothly. Your day will include:

• Raising purchase orders for indirect materials and ingredients

• Managing the purchasing inbox and dealing with supplier queries

• Entering and chasing order confirmations in the ERP system

• Supporting stock adjustments and warehouse transactions

• Working closely with Accounts to ensure invoices are paid on time

• Handling samples and supporting the wider purchasing team with ad-hoc tasks

You’ll work closely with internal teams across accounts, supply chain, quality and production, as well as external suppliers — so if you enjoy being busy and involved, you’ll fit right in.

This role will suit you if:

• You’ve worked in an administrative or purchasing support role before

• You’re comfortable juggling multiple tasks while staying accurate

• You communicate clearly and confidently with suppliers and colleagues

• You enjoy problem-solving and using your initiative

• You’ve used ERP systems (IFS, SAP or similar) and Microsoft Office

• You have a keen eye for detail

You don’t need to know everything on day one — full training and induction are provided.

What’s in it for you?

This role offers more than just a job title:

• Flexible start and finish times

• Early finish every Friday (2:45pm)

• 24 days holiday + bank holidays

• Option to buy or sell holiday

• Private medical insurance

• Life assurance (4x salary)

• Strong pension (7.5% employer contribution)

• Mental health support & wellbeing days

• Cycle to work scheme

• Discounts, free products, and wellbeing benefits

You’ll be joining a business that values consistency, teamwork, and doing things properly — without unnecessary pressure or long hours.
