Managing Director
Pier Health Group
Weston-Super-Mare
£105,000 - £115,000 (pro rata), part-time (3 days per week)
Pier Health is at a significant moment. We are a six practice super-partnership with a Primary Care Network (PCN) that extends to include all seven practices in the Weston, Worle and Villages Locality (including Pier Health Group Ltd practice).
The PCN is at its heart, operating in a system that is changing fast with a shift to at-scale working and Neighbourhood Health. Our PCN is one of the largest in the country, covering a population of over 100,000 and with a combined turnover in the region of £24M. Pier Health Group also hosts the NIHR North Somerset Clinical Research Delivery Centre (CRDC) – Primary Care.
THE ROLE
As our Managing Director you will be joining us at a time of conscious organisational renewal and you will have a unique opportunity to help shape what we will go on to become. This is a relational leadership role as much as an operational one. The Managing Director does not carry delivery alone; they make delivery possible by building trust across practices, holding together complex interfaces, and ensuring that our collective ambition translates into coherent and accountable action.
As the right candidate for Pier, you will be a skilled networker and listener, someone whose instinct is to understand before acting. You will recognise that each member practice is a distinct partnership with its own culture, pressures and strengths, and you will be as comfortable operating at practice level, as in board or system forums.
This is not a clinical role and does not require a clinical background. It will however require genuine curiosity about general practice, deep respect for partnership structures, and the credibility to work effectively with GP partners and practice managers day to day.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work collaboratively alongside committed colleagues, supporting the development and delivery of Pier’s strategy and ambitions.
If you are looking for a role that requires strategic and operational leadership in an ambitious organisation where you will help to shape healthcare for our local communities, we would welcome your interest and application.
