Job summary

An exciting opportunity to join the fabulous team at Birchwood Medical Practice. Our incumbent has secured a promotion leaving space for another bright spark to join us!

Birchwood is a highly rated practice by its patients; in the Top 10 of GP Practices in the Bristol North Somerset and South Glos region.

We have 9300 patients and this is constantly increasing due to our reputation so we need a highly organised, experienced assistant manager to join the team and help us continue to adapt and grow to meet the demands and needs of our patients.

You will be working very closely with the Practice Manager/Business Partner supporting the management and coordination of all aspects of our practice's day-to-day business.

Main duties of the job

You will be managing, motivating and developing staff. You will be looking after the business; optimising efficiency and financial performance. You will be helping to shape the practice's long term strategy and deliver excellent services to our wonderful patients.

You will need to be skilled at finance, project delivery, report writing with strong attention to detail and IT skills. It is vital that you are an excellent communicator with the ability to motivate others.

About us

We are a medium sized practice of 9300 patients. We have a team of 24 great colleagues.

There are 7 x GPs, 5 Nursing Team members and 12 Reception/Admin colleagues

We bring with us a management and change approach that is collaborative and engages staff - after all , they are the people doing the job and have the expertise to say what does/doesn't work! We have an internal and external facing campaign of, "You said, We Listened, We took Action" to demonstrate that we follow through on this value.

We are not working as we would like to during Covid - it has certainly been more challenging but with the support of the right candidate for this role we can start to implement new ways of working to support the team and our patients.
