A defining leadership opportunity. A legacy worth building.
Some appointments maintain an organisation. Others help define what it becomes. We believe this is one of those appointments.
Shropdoc is a clinician-founded, not-for-profit social enterprise with more than thirty years of trusted, high-quality urgent primary care behind it, a clear strategy and ambitious plans for growth. We are now investing in exceptional executive leadership to shape our future, and we are appointing a Director of Primary Care to help write the next chapter.
The role
Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer as a full member of the Executive Leadership Team, you will provide executive leadership for the delivery, growth and transformation of our integrated urgent and primary care portfolio. You will help shape organisational strategy, develop outstanding leaders, strengthen strategic partnerships and build the operational capability to support sustainable growth. This is a role for someone who wants to build, not simply inherit.
