Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential - whether you’re supporting patients or working alongside colleagues. Most importantly, we’re seeking an enthusiastic individual who can work efficiently and meet KPIs while maintaining the quality and care our patients expect.

- Managing the performance of the operation through 1:1s, coaching, and holding team members to account (we have an excellent trainer who supports on the coaching front);
- Driving operational excellence, efficiencies, and a world-class patient experience;
- Dealing with ad-hoc issues as they arise and providing advice to the wider team in real-time;
- Ownership of the PST performance metrics; constantly striving for improvements;
- Responsible for all team member behaviors - conducting disciplinary and appeal meetings where necessary;
- Role models people leadership, developing great talent, creating a culture of learning to attract and retain the best people;
- Provides clear leadership and direction for all direct team members, providing them with regular feedback, development, and training alongside working with training & quality specialist to identify areas for improvement and skill gaps across the entire operation.
