Job description

Job responsibilities

The Opportunity

You'll take ownership of 20–30 GP/PCN contracts across your region. You'll lead clinical and operational teams, manage performance, and be the person your NHS partners rely on. You'll have the autonomy to run your region the way you think is best — and a commission structure that rewards you when it delivers.

Base: £48,000

OTE: £8,000–£10,000 — and there's no ceiling on what you can earn

Commission is tied to clear performance targets across headcount growth, service delivery, and margin — the better your region performs, the more you earn.

What You'll Be Doing

• Managing day-to-day regional operations across 20–30 primary care contracts
• Line managing Senior and Lead Pharmacists, providing coaching and clinical oversight
• Monitoring KPIs, contract performance, and workforce metrics — stepping in proactively when needed
• Developing and maintaining strong relationships with GP Practices, PCNs, and ICBs
• Leading workforce planning, recruitment, and staff development across your region
• Ensuring CQC and NHS governance compliance across all services
• Identifying opportunities for service growth and commercial development
• Reporting regional performance to the Managing Director and senior leadership team

You'll need:

• 3+ years in a senior operational or leadership role
• Direct, hands-on experience in primary care (GP, PCN, NHS)
• Proven ability to lead and influence multi-site teams
• Deep knowledge of NHS structures and PCN operations
• Strong performance management and analytical skills
• Full UK driving licence

You'll stand out if you have:

• Experience in service redesign or pathway improvement
