The Practice is an active member of the Rural Alliance PCN, together with 5 rural West Cheshire practices. The PCN is mutually supportive and collaborative.
The Practice Manager is a pivotal member of our practice and will be expected to lead & support the practice team to achieve its aims and objectives with total professionalism.
The successful candidate will be competent in all aspects of core practice management and be able to demonstrate proven relevant business experience in business knowledge, finance, HR and project management.
