  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with commissioners, local authorities, and clinic partners
  • Actively contribute to organisational change initiatives and quality improvement projects
  • Ensure full compliance with CQC, NHS, and internal regulatory frameworks

  • Proven experience managing healthcare services
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage both direct and matrix teams
  • Background in owning P&L and operational budgets
  • Stakeholder engagement experience
  • Familiar with pathway design, waitlist management, and performance monitoring
  • Adaptable, friendly, and capable of thriving in a high-growth, change-led environment
