Get to know me: A 3-minute profile with Ellie Harris
Welcome to the latest in our 'Get to know me' series. We are sharing a snapshot of new people who have joined NHS Supply Chain: Facilities and Office Solutions and what drew them to share their knowledge and skills with the NHS.
Now let's get to know Ellie Harris.
1. What is your role within NHS Supply Chain?
My job title is Customer Support & Assistant Buyer, and I work with the Facilities and Office Solutions team. Before joining NOE CPC, I worked for a Mortgage Broker, as a Case Manager, for two years. Prior to this I spent eight years as a Dental Nurse.
2. What does your job involve?
My job role involves helping customers with any product enquiries, and assisting with resolving customer complaints. I also work with the Office Solutions team and their suppliers, in maintaining and developing the NHS Supply Chain Catalogue. Since starting my new role, I was surprised to see just how many opportunities and areas for progression there are, and how supportive and encouraging everyone is.
3. What do you enjoy most about your role?
I am new to the industry so I am enjoying learning lots of new skills, meeting lots of new people, and learning all about the organisation. It’s great to have joined such a friendly and supportive team, and to be contributing towards making a difference to our NHS.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience of joining NOE CPC. It can be quite nerve wracking joining a new team and starting a completely new role, but I was put at ease from day 1 and couldn’t have had a warmer welcome.
