Practice Manager

Job summary

The PM will need to be financially astute, well organised, highly motivated and demonstrate excellent interpersonal and IT skills to manage the support team. The areas of responsibility and the qualities required of the manager are outlined below. 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, with a particular emphasis on finance. 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 partnership. In addition to adapting the practice to continue to meet the demands of providing high quality patient care, the manager will need to ensure that the practice is financially efficient and compliant with all aspects of health and safety, employment legislation and CQC (Care Quality Commission) requirements.

Main duties of the job

The partners are looking to appoint a strategic thinking manager to take forward and contribute to the ideas of the practice team. 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. The successful candidate is likely to be a strong individual who is willing and able to take an active role alongside the partners. Strategic decisions are made democratically by the partners at regular partner meetings. 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 concerns expressed by patients, as well as representing the practice at external professional meetings. The opportunity for further personal development will be considered in order to develop your skills in line with practice needs.
