Practice Business Manager - Somer Valley Medical Group

About Us

Nestled in the beautiful Bath & North East Somerset countryside, our thriving GP practice serves a growing population of around 19,000 patients from our three sites in Midsomer Norton and the surrounding area.

We’re a forward-thinking, multi-disciplinary team offering a full range of primary care services, including a dispensary and dedicated support for several large care homes.

With major housing developments underway and a long-term ambition to consolidate into a new, purpose-built health centre, we’re entering an exciting phase of growth and transformation — focused on excellence, sustainability and great care for our community.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for an exceptional Practice Business Manager to join our leadership team — someone who combines strategic vision with operational precision, and who brings energy, innovation and a passion for quality.

Working closely with the GP Partners, you’ll help drive the next stage of our journey: strengthening our financial and governance frameworks, modernising how we work, nurturing our colleagues and culture, and ensuring outstanding standards of safety and patient care.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a progressive, community-minded practice — and make a real difference.

What You’ll Do

  • Play a vital leadership role in the practice, overarching clinical and non-clinical teams and directly supporting the partnership.
  • Lead and inspire a diverse non-clinical team with a progressive, people-centred leadership style.
  • Be responsible for the seamless interface between clinical and non-clinical activity and teams in the practice.
  • Drive quality, compliance and governance, ensuring we meet and exceed CQC standards and national frameworks.
  • Oversee practice operations across three sites — ensuring efficient systems, patient access and a positive experience for all.
  • Embed robust financial structures and provide clear, insightful reporting to the Partners.
  • Champion continuous improvement, innovation, and a values-driven culture across the organisation.
  • Ensure compliance with QOF, Enhanced Services and LCSs, optimising performance and income.
  • Stay ahead of national developments, particularly the NHS Long Term Plan, and help the practice adapt for the future.
  • Work collaboratively with our PCN, ICB, and local stakeholders to strengthen our place in the community.

About You

  • Essential:
  • Senior management experience in primary care, NHS or a regulated health or social care setting.
  • Strong financial, operational and governance expertise.
  • Track record of delivering quality, compliance and improvement.
  • Exceptional communication and leadership skills.
  • Calm, confident and capable under pressure.
  • High attention to detail and strong analytical mindset.
  • Management qualification (e.g. MBA, MSc, AMSPAR Diploma or equivalent).

 

  • Desirable:
  • Knowledge of QOF, LCSs, and NHS contractual frameworks.
  • Understanding of the NHS Long Term Plan and implications for general practice.

How to apply

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary: £55,000 – £70,000.
  • NHS Pension Scheme (if eligible) or equivalent.
  • 27–30 days annual leave + bank holidays.
  • Potential for some flexible / hybrid working where mutually agreeable (please note physical presence will be vital for the majority of the working week).
