Testimonial:

“Chesterfield Royal Hospital initially advertised for the post of Procurement Category Manager via NHS Jobs, this process did not prove successful. Only candidates from Michael Page Procurement were given second interviews. I have always found Michael Page to provide a consultative service as a result of them knowing their area of expertise.” – Head of Procurement, NHS
