Whilst not expecting the person appointed to be an expert in all areas listed, we do expect candidates to have good interpersonal qualities and be able to demonstrate experience and confidence in the areas of people management.

An understanding of current NHS initiatives will be helpful; however the NHS is changing substantially and rapidly and the introduction of new ideas and methods from outside the NHS presents an attractive proposition to the management team.

The Practice Manager and Partners are looking to appoint a manager with strong managerial skills to contribute and support the Practice Manager. The manager is seen as a key member of the team and will be expected to demonstrate leadership qualities from within the team, achieving goals and targets using a combination of personal involvement, motivation of other staff and delegation when appropriate.

Whilst most of the role entails working under the management of the Practice Manager, it is crucial that the successful candidate is prepared to interact with patients and other members of the public from time to time, for example in managing queries and concerns from patients.

The opportunity for further personal development will be given in order to develop your skills in line with practice needs.

The position offers 37 hours per week during normal working hours.
