Person Specification

Experience

Essential

• The successful candidate will have strong financial skills, sound commercial judgement and the ability to think strategically. They will be confident providing advice and challenge to GP partners, interpreting financial information and helping translate opportunities and risks into practical decisions.
• The role is varied and requires someone who is equally comfortable discussing long-term strategy with the partners, reviewing financial performance, managing estates issues or helping to solve the day-to-day challenges that inevitably arise in a busy practice.
• Flexibility, sound judgement and a willingness to take ownership are qualities we value highly.
• Experience within general practice or the wider NHS would be advantageous, although we welcome applications from candidates with relevant business, finance or operational management experience.
