Main duties of the job

The PCN Manager is a key role within the PCN, ensuring that the PCN strategic vision is set and accords with local and national priorities and the needs of the local population. The PCN Development Manager will also understand and interpret PCN contracts, bringing together practice teams, the PCN Team and system partners to ensure contracts are delivered in a pragmatic way which serves the local community and makes best use of resources. This will include building on current primary care provision and working proactively with the wider network to ensure we can offer our local population coordinated and more integrated health and care.

The role entails building effective working relationships, working closely with the Clinical Director, the practice and PCN staff teams, engaging stakeholders across different organisations and disciplines, coordinating work-streams, and collating and monitoring risks and issues.

The PCN Development Manager will act as point of expertise, coordinate the successful delivery of all contractual requirements, translate national and local policy into meaningful changes, and will support the network to achieve improved outcomes for their local population. They will also liaise with the PCN Development Managers of other PCNs both within Herefordshire and across the ICS.

About us

We believe that General Practice is the cornerstone of our health and care system, providing holistic care to individuals and families to live independent, healthy, fulfilled lives.

The GP federation Taurus Healthcare - was created by all Herefordshire GP practices supporting this ethos, to collaborate and maximise the time that GPs and their teams have to focus on patient care.

Working collaboratively allows us to support various back office and management functions, as well as delivering some clinical services that require scale, to provide general practice services across 24 hours, 7 days a week.

GP practices retain their individual leadership and responsibilities but are supported by a wider leadership team underpinned by the federation; this enables us to partner with local health and social care organisations, to help coordinate prevention and early intervention and maximise opportunities for more joined up care.
