POSITION:

We are seeking an experienced and values-driven Managing Director - UK. This pivotal role is focused on delivering operational excellence, ensuring the highest standards of patient care, and driving sustainable growth.
The Managing Director will bring proven experience from a private clinic environment (rather than large hospital systems) and will feel equally confident shaping strategic initiatives and managing day-to-day operations.
As MD, you will work closely with the CEO and leadership team to translate strategy into effective, measurable operations. You will lead and empower our clinical and support teams, motivating them to deliver exceptional services while ensuring compliance, efficiency, and a culture of continuous improvement.

Your leadership will be instrumental in:

• Supporting and inspiring our clinical workforce
• Streamlining and strengthening internal processes
• Ensuring support services are safe, effective, and patient-focused
• Driving innovation and sustainable growth across the organisation

This is a rare opportunity to make a lasting impact on a growing organisation. If you bring a deep understanding of private clinics, a collaborative approach, and a values-based leadership style, we would love to hear from you.
