Job summary

Are you looking for a new challenge within a practice that is supportive, forward thinking and fast-paced?

We are looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated team player to join our dynamic and friendly practice as a Business Manager, to lead the organisation into the next phase of development.

We are looking for someone who can not only manage financial budgets and support income opportunities but also drive change, identify efficiencies and enable innovation.

Experience in primary care or healthcare is welcome however not essential. We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong financial background who enjoys complexity, responsibility and the opportunity to shape how an organisation works.

We are proud of our friendly, supportive and highly motivated and successful team. We provide a wide range of services to our patients including Enhanced Provision and we are an active member of Armley Primary Care Network.

We enjoy socialising and coming together as a team to support local community services. In the past this has included MacMillan Coffee Mornings and collecting for those in need at Christmas.

We are a well-established and respected training practice, which is high performing, innovative and prides itself on our values.

For any questions or to arrange a visit to surgery please contact our Practice Manager, Linda Thompson on 0113 467 7499 or linda.thompson24@nhs.net
