PATHWAY: Private GP, secondary care and ADHD

About Well Life Clinic
Well Life Clinic is a CQC-registered private GP practice with clinics in Oxted and Cobham in Surrey as well as St Albans in Hertfordshire.
We are a growing healthcare organisation delivering high-quality care across Private GP, specialist secondary care and ADHD services. As we continue to expand, we're investing in the clinical leadership, governance and service design capabilities that enable sustainable, safe growth.
We're looking for an experienced and forward-thinking Clinical Programme Director to join our Chief Medical Officer directorate and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our clinical services.
The Opportunity
This is a newly created role focused on the design, development and continuous improvement of clinical services, rather than the day-to-day operational management of them.
You will lead the clinical development of new and existing services, ensuring they are built on robust pathways, evidence-based protocols and strong governance frameworks. Working closely with clinical, operational and commercial colleagues, you will take services from initial concept and business case through to successful clinical launch and ongoing quality assurance.
This role would suit a clinician, particularly a GP, who enjoys system design, innovation and strategic thinking, and who understands that strong clinical governance is an enabler of growth, not a barrier to it.
Key Responsibilities
Clinical Service Design
Design and develop patient pathways across Private GP, secondary care and ADHD services.
Create and maintain clinical specifications, policies, protocols and operating procedures.
Support the ongoing review and optimisation of clinical models of care.

What We're Looking For
We're looking for a GP who can help shape how clinical services are designed, governed and brought safely to life as Well Life Clinic grows. This new role sits within our Chief Medical Officer directorate and focuses on the design side of clinical services rather than the day-to-day running of them: developing pathways, specifications and protocols; strengthening audit, incident learning and CQC evidence; and taking new services from business case through to clinical go-live. It will suit someone who enjoys service design, is comfortable with the commercial thinking behind capacity models and business cases, and sees clinical governance as the foundation for safe, sustainable growth.
- Registered GMC healthcare professional with current UK registration.
- Significant clinical experience, ideally as a GP.
- Experience designing, developing or improving clinical services.
- Strong understanding of clinical governance, quality assurance and healthcare regulation.
- Experience developing clinical pathways, protocols and policies.
- Commercial awareness and understanding of healthcare service delivery.
Our Values
Everything we do at Well Life Clinic is guided by three core values. We look for these qualities in everyone who joins our team.
- Proactive: Take initiative. Mistakes are acceptable when made with integrity.
- Humble: Celebrate success without arrogance.
- Resolute: Persist through setbacks and keep moving forward.
