Main duties of the job
Working alongside a team of dedicated and expert clinicians at site, you will be part of a wider team of Lakeside Healthcare partners, who are complimented by a superb multidisciplinary team. The Partnership has a professional central management team which deals with all non-clinical matters, including regulatory and contractual matters, freeing up clinicians to do what they do best - see and treat patients.
Key to the role is the need to work closely with
stakeholders across the business and be a trusted and credible partner to
managers and the executive team, providing them with the necessary and
consistent support and guidance to engage and develop their people and providing pragmatic solutions to complex issues.
Lakeside Healthcare is a team and a family where we all look after one another.
