Are you an experienced manager with a strong track record of supporting, developing and leading teams?
Three Harbours Medical Practice is looking for a confident, organised and people-focused Practice Manager to support the next stage of development for our administrative team and wider practice services.
Based in beautiful Caithness, Three Harbours serves approximately 13,500 patients across 3 practice sites. Recent changes in personnel and management provide an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to make a positive and lasting contribution to staff, patients and the local communities we serve.
This is a rewarding role for someone who enjoys bringing structure, stability and encouragement to a busy team. You will support day-to-day practice operations, help develop clear ways of working, contribute to service improvement, and play an important part in ensuring patients receive a safe, responsive and high-quality service.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Experience and Skills
Experience in a medical practice or primary care setting would be helpful, but it is not essential. We are particularly interested in applicants who can demonstrate effective staff management, compassionate leadership, experience of supporting learning and development, undertaking appraisals and personal development plans, maintaining good governance, working within budgets, and keeping health and safety at the forefront of service delivery.
For the right candidate, transferable management experience is more important than previous primary care experience. Training and support will be provided, including familiarisation with relevant NHS systems, practice processes and local arrangements.
Job Details
This is a permanent, part-time Band 5 post, working 18 hours per week. Salary will be paid pro rata. Travel between practice bases is required; travel time is recognised and travel expenses are reimbursed in line with NHS Highland arrangements.
