Our Group has been built on the principle of clinical freedom for our Joint Venture Partners (JVPs) and we are committed to supporting practices to build a culture of clinical excellence.

About the role
We’re looking for an Area Relationship Manager. The role is field-based covering our practices within inner M25.
As an Area Relationship Manager, you will be the principal contact for the JVPs in your area and you’ll be accountable for influencing and supporting the overall performance of their practices, with the aim of maximizing the commercial potential and achieving profitability.
You’ll support around 15 practices and act as the link between the overall group strategy and tactical delivery.

About your experience
You’ll ideally have experience of working in a field-based role supporting multiple operational sites to achieve their potential. Being commercially astute, you’ll have a track record of recognizing business opportunities and working collaboratively to achieve results.
