Key Responsibilities:

  • Oversee day-to-day service delivery for ENT and Dermatology clinics across multiple locations
  • Take full ownership of the “referral to discharge” pathway, ensuring seamless, compliant patient journeys
  • Lead service optimisation across clinical capacity, workforce planning, appointment management, and clinic resourcing
  • Manage operational performance to meet KPIs, NHS service levels, and contractual obligations
  • Lead a team of clinical and non-clinical professionals
  • Track and analyse key performance data to identify trends, risks, and service improvement opportunities
  • Maximise referrals and ensure clinical capacity meets demand, working with clinicians and commissioners
  • Manage the full P&L of assigned services and monitor financial performance closely
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with commissioners, local authorities, and clinic partners
  • Actively contribute to organisational change initiatives and quality improvement projects
  • Ensure full compliance with CQC, NHS, and internal regulatory frameworks

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Degree; ideally in Business Administration, Healthcare Management or a relevant field
  • Proven experience managing healthcare services
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage both direct and matrix teams
  • Background in owning P&L and operational budgets
  • Stakeholder engagement experience
  • Familiar with pathway design, waitlist management, and performance monitoring
  • Adaptable, friendly, and capable of thriving in a high-growth, change-led environment
  • Practice Managers or Operations Leads ready for a step up are also encouraged to apply

What’s On Offer:

  • Hybrid working – typically 3 days in-office
  • Up to £45,000 basic salary
  • Quarterly bonus of £1,000 for hitting operational profit targets
  • Annual bonus of £1,000 if yearly service targets are achieved
  • Overachievement bonus – £250 for every £20,000 above annual budget
  • 37.5-hour week, Monday–Friday; 9am–5pm
  • Paid travel expenses to regional clinic sites
  • A genuinely autonomous leadership role with strong internal support and cross-functional collaboration
