Website Orange Medical Practice
An exciting opportunity to make your mark.
Are you an experienced manager who enjoys developing people, improving performance and making things work better?
We are looking for a proactive, forward-thinking Practice Manager to lead the operational and business management of our established GP practice.
Working closely with the GP Partners and wider practice team, you will play a key role in ensuring the practice runs efficiently, delivers excellent patient services, provides support to GP trainees and is well positioned for the future.
You do not need previous healthcare experience or a healthcare qualification to apply. We welcome applications from managers in other sectors who can demonstrate strong leadership, commercial awareness and a track record of successfully managing people, services and change.
Your key responsibilities will include:
• Leading and developing people
• Driving change and operational improvement
• Managing finance and resources
• Ensuring effective practice operations and appropriate Governance
• Building strong relationships
About you
You will be an experienced manager with a practical, solutions-focused approach and the confidence to lead people, manage competing priorities and deliver improvement.
Strong management experience: a proven track record of managing people, operations, services or organisational performance.
Change leadership: experience of introducing improvements, managing change and bringing people with you.
People skills: the ability to motivate teams, manage performance and handle challenging situations.
Commercial awareness: Confidence managing budgets, finances and resources.
Organisation and problem-solving: Strong planning skills, sound judgement and the ability to deliver results.
Communication: The ability to build relationships, influence stakeholders and communicate effectively.
Integrity and professionalism: A commitment to confidentiality, accountability and good governance
Continuous improvement: Initiative, curiosity and a desire to make services better.
We welcome applications from managers across a range of sectors. Previous experience in general practice or the NHS would be advantageous, as would relevant management, leadership, finance, HR or project management qualifications. However, these are not essential where candidates can demonstrate the right skills, experience and potential.
We are more interested in what you can achieve than whether you have followed a traditional career path into healthcare.

Please submit your CV and a supporting statement outlining your relevant management experience, with particular emphasis on an example of a change or improvement you have successfully led to judith.belmore@nhs.scot
We are committed to fair and inclusive recruitment and welcome applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds and transferable skills.
