Careers at ESPO
If you’re looking for an exciting and challenging opportunity to work within the public sector for an organisation with a commercial edge then ESPO is the place for you. Our staff drive job satisfaction from the prospect of knowing that our products and services are supporting people across our communities; whether it’s the school children using our exercise books, the cleaning services in our hospitals or the energy lighting our streets – the work we do really does make a difference.
We pride ourselves on establishing billion pound procurement solutions, saving millions of pounds for the public sector in the process. While ESPO may be a procurement organisation at heart, this activity is supported by a wide range of roles across many different disciplines including:
- Customer services
- Finance
- IT
- Procurement
- Product management

Graduate careers and work placement opportunities
Every year we appoint a number of graduates to join us as Trainee Procurement Officers to start their career in procurement and to be sponsored to study for their Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) Diploma. We also employ a small number of work placement students, to spend a year working with one of our diverse teams, learning everything there is to know about public sector procurement.
