We have an exciting opportunity available for the right person or people to join our Senior Management team.

We are open to splitting the role if we find two people with skills that complement one another.
The successful person/people will be able to demonstrate excellent interpersonal and leadership skills, to lead and inspire our friendly, patient focussed team, and to support the GP Partners in developing and evolving the Practice to provide continuing, excellent patient care.
We are a longstanding training practice serving the lovely village of Tarporley in Cheshire and its surrounding environs. We have a list size of 6200 patients, served by 2 partners and 3 salaried GPs with supportive nursing and pharmacy teams and dedicated reception and administration teams. Our core ethos is to provide high quality, accessible Primary Care services for all our patients, designing care around their needs, whilst adapting to the ever-changing challenges and demands of Primary Care and the NHS.
The role(s) will be pivotal in the management of the practice and require someone who is forward thinking and able to lead & support the practice team to achieve its aims and objectives with total professionalism.
The role(s) will be supported by managers in Operations, Reception and Facilities. We have a good CQC rating, consistently excellent QOF achievement and a very high level of patient satisfaction in the national GP survey.

You will preferably have financial acumen and be able to demonstrate an ability to cost and forecast and to fully understand the financial flows of income and expenditure. If you do not have all these skills and are willing to learn, support can be provided to allow you to increase your knowledge and skills in this area.
