Practice Manager
Location
Fishguard, SA65
Hours
Full Time
Contract
Permanent
Salary
Circa £50,000 per annum
Our client is a four-partner GP NHS practice in the beautiful West Wales town of Fishguard.
In addition to their partners, they have three salaried GPs, a nursing team, and a number of support/administration staff.
The current Practice Manager is leaving to undertake a full-time caring role for a family member, and they are now looking for her replacement.
The practice views the role of the Practice Manager as being pivotal to the overall business efficiency of the practice, the maintenance of the existing team spirit, and providing a trusted and valued communication link to third parties.
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.
In essence, you would be their eyes and their ears in maintaining and promoting the business. They expect to work closely with their Practice Manager to ensure that they are kept fully abreast of contractual and compliance changes, and that they are informed promptly of any issues, changes, or ideas that would allow them to make informed decisions, implement service delivery improvements, and adopt legislative change where necessary.
This is a varied and complex, permanent, full-time role, which attracts a salary circa £50,000. Slightly more may be on offer for an exceptional candidate. Whilst previous NHS and/or Practice Manager experience is not a pre-requisite, extensive management experience and the confidence to lead a wide-ranging team through often challenging operating conditions most certainly is.
You will be required to be adaptable and calm in stressful situations, be well organised, happy to lead and develop a team, but to also provide positive guidance and support – and innovative solutions – to unexpected challenges. The breadth of your portfolio covers everything from building issues, staff/HR, and patient problems when they arise. Excellent time management skills and adaptability are key essential attributes to successfully undertaking this role.
