General Practice Business Manager

We are seeking an exceptional Business Manager to join one of South Yorkshire's most established, high-performing and forward-thinking GP practices.

The practice provides care for approximately 12,000 patients from a modern, purpose-built health centre and has been CQC rated Outstanding since 2016 reflecting long-term clinical quality, organisational stability, and strong leadership.

You will be a core member of the practice leadership team, working directly with the GP partners to ensure the organisation remains resilient, well-run, and future-focused.

While experience in primary care or healthcare is welcome, it is not essential. We are particularly interested in candidates with strong operational or people-management backgrounds from complex, service-driven organisations.

We are recognised regionally for being technologically progressive and willing to lead change rather than react to it.

This is a senior operational leadership role suited to a confident, capable business leader who enjoys complexity, responsibility and the opportunity to shape how an organisation works.

Key responsibilities:

• Senior operational leadership across the practice
• Oversight of quality of primary care delivery of patient care
• Line management and development of a large multidisciplinary workforce
• Oversight of HR systems, policies, performance and staff wellbeing
• Financial management, budgeting and forecasting
• Supporting strategic planning and organisational development
• Driving service improvement, efficiency and modern ways of working
• Helping maintain the practice's reputation as a regional leader in innovation and technology

You will work within an experienced management structure and with a team of experienced partners who value professional leadership and clear operational governance.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is an experienced and credible people manager
• Brings structure, clarity and consistency to complex systems
• Is confident working with senior professionals
• Has strong organisational and financial awareness
• Thinks strategically but delivers pragmatically
• Is calm, resilient and solutions-focused
• Is motivated by meaningful work as well as performance

• Long-standing Outstanding CQC rating (since 2016)
• Stable partnership with strong engagement in leadership
• Large multi-disciplinary team and supportive culture
• Strong educational tradition with medical students, nursing students, and doctors in training
• Genuine autonomy to shape how the organisation operates
• An environment open to innovation, ideas, and modern management
• The opportunity to play a key role in the future direction of general practice

This is a rare opportunity to join a well-established, high-functioning practice at a senior level and to help guide it through the next phase of change in primary care.

Informal conversations are very welcome.

Key responsibilities:

• Senior operational leadership across the practice
• Oversight of quality of primary care delivery of patient care
