• Ensure high standards of patient care and service delivery.
• Develop and grow NHS and private clinical services.

• A strong understanding of NHS and private clinical services.
• A commercially minded approach with the ability to identify opportunities for growth.
• Experience setting and working towards KPIs.
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and develop a team.
• A strong understanding of pharmacy governance, compliance and GPhC requirements.

Long Term Career Opportunity

This is a long term opportunity for someone whose ambition and vision aligns with the new owners.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to make a genuine impact on the growth of the pharmacy, with performance based rewards, salary increases and career progression available as the business develops.

There is also the potential to progress into a Regional Manager position, overseeing multiple pharmacies within the wider group.
