This is a varied, field-based role with no direct line management, but plenty of opportunity to make a real impact. You'll provide hands-on operational support across your clinics, helping with everything from recruitment and onboarding to rotas, facilities, compliance and day-to-day problem solving.

- Managing rotas, resource planning, leave and locum requirements
- Supporting payroll, finance, stock and invoice processes
- Coordinating maintenance, facilities and accommodation requirements
- Ensuring Health & Safety and compliance requirements are completed
- Supporting clinics with incidents, complaints and operational improvements
- Working collaboratively with the wider Network team to drive consistency across our practices
The role operates on a rotation, including approximately 1 in 6 weekends, ensuring operational support is available across the network.
About You
We're looking for an organised, proactive and solutions-focused individual who enjoys working across multiple locations and building strong relationships with different teams. You'll ideally have 3+ years' experience in an operations, field management or multi-site environment, with experience of coordinating people, recruitment and day-to-day service delivery.
You’ll need:
- A full UK driving licence
- Excellent organisation and planning skills
- Strong communication and relationship-building abilities
- Confidence managing multiple priorities and locations
- Good attention to detail, particularly around rotas, payroll and compliance
- A proactive approach to problem solving
