Job Description:

Welbeck Practice Management (WPM) is dedicated to delivering seamless, patient-focused healthcare services across our consultants’ practices. Our team ensures that operations run efficiently, patients experience smooth care pathways, and clinicians are supported to provide the highest standard of care.

We combine operational expertise with innovation, embracing digital solutions and continuous improvement to enhance efficiency, service quality, and patient satisfaction. Working within WPM means being part of a collaborative, professional, and dynamic environment where your contribution directly impacts patient experiences and the success of the practice.

This role is a senior, hands-on role within Welbeck Practice Management, responsible for delivering expert practice management support across a portfolio of consultant practices. Acting as a key operational resource, you will provide both planned and reactive cover, ensuring continuity of service during periods of absence, transition, or growth while maintaining exceptional standards of patient care and service delivery.

In addition to core practice management responsibilities, the role plays a critical part in business continuity, consultant onboarding, and operational improvement initiatives. You will work closely with the Head of Operations to support service transitions, stabilise practices during change, and promote consistency and best practice across the wider WPM portfolio. This is a varied and dynamic role offering exposure to multiple specialties and the opportunity to influence operational excellence across the organisation.

You are an experienced and highly capable Practice Manager or Private Medical Secretary with a strong background in UK private healthcare. You are confident managing consultant practices independently and are known for your exceptional organisational skills, attention to detail, and ability to maintain high service standards in fast-paced environments. You build strong, trusted relationships with consultants, patients, and stakeholders, and take pride in delivering a seamless, patient-focused service.

You are adaptable, resilient, and solutions-driven, with the ability to quickly integrate into new teams and ways of working. Comfortable handling competing priorities, you remain calm under pressure and bring a proactive approach to problem-solving. You are also passionate about continuous improvement, sharing best practice, and contributing positively to team success and organisational growth.
