Do you have the resilience, drive, and structure to manage large clinical teams in primary care networks?
This award-winning healthcare organisation is scaling rapidly across the UK, partnering with NHS Primary Care Networks (PCNs) to deliver innovative pharmacy-led services that reduce pressure on GPs and improve patient outcomes. They are now looking for a proactive and organised Operations Manager to lead a portfolio of up to 40-50 clinical professionals, including pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.

- Operationally manage a team of approx. 40 clinical staff across multiple PCN sites
- Oversee service delivery, compliance, and rota/leave management with support from virtual assistants

- Track and report on KPIs (e.g. include complaints and error handling, annual leave tracking, patient/surgery feedback, meeting notes)
- Present formal service reviews to GP surgeries and PCN clients
- Support onboarding, training compliance, CPD and development plans
- Conduct regular staff meetings, maintain team engagement and ensure clear communication
- Contribute to internal process improvements and organic service growth
- Act as a key link between clinical teams and central support functions
- Operate in a fast-paced, high-volume environment requiring structure, flexibility, and hands-on leadership
