What We Are Looking For
We are looking for a leader who can hit the ground running. Someone who can build relationships, inspire teams and maintain the strong foundations already in place whilst continuing to drive growth, performance and profitability.
This role requires somebody who is comfortable making decisions, leading through change and taking ownership of a significant operation. You will need to be equally comfortable discussing compliance, recruitment, branch performance, financial performance and business growth.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Registered Manager who is looking to step into a larger, more commercially focused leadership role within a growing organisation.
