Medical jobs in Lismore, County Waterford

Senior Regional Practice Manager – South West (Munster)

(AHA) is building a national network of GP practices. We acquire established practices and preserve their local identity, clinical independence and continuity of care, while providing stronger operational and administrative support.

We are looking for an experienced senior practice manager to lead day-to-day operations and performance across a defined group of practices in the South West (clusters around Limerick and Cork). You will have real responsibility for the practices you support, while reporting to the Medical Director.

The role

You will be the senior operational lead for your group of practices. You will line-manage the practice managers, drive consistent standards, improve financial and operational performance, and support the smooth running of the sites. You will be in the practices regularly, with travel across the region expected most weeks.

This is a hands-on leadership role with clear accountability for the practices in your group, but it is not a position with end-to-end P&L ownership or sole responsibility for acquisitions.

What you will be responsible for

Operations and standards

· Lead and support the practice managers in your group so that day-to-day operations, appointment capacity, staffing and patient access run well.

· Develop and maintain consistent operational standards across your practices while respecting each practice’s identity.

· Build strong working relationships with GP partners and practice teams.

Performance and finance

· Monitor practice budgets, key operational indicators and financial performance for the practices in your group.

· Support strong income management (PCRS, GMS, CDM, STCs, vaccinations, private billing and claims accuracy) and help reduce avoidable cost and aged debt.

· Identify practical improvements in staffing, locum use and resource utilisation and implement them with the practice managers.

· Provide regular performance updates to the Medical Director.

People

· Line-manage and develop the practice managers in your group.

· Support recruitment, induction, performance and retention at practice level.

· Encourage sharing of what works across the practices you oversee.

Integration and change

· Support the operational integration of newly acquired practices in your area under the direction of the Medical Director (systems, processes, staff communication and early rhythm).

· Be present and practical during the early weeks of a new practice joining the network.

About you

Essential

· Extensive experience as a practice manager (or equivalent senior operational role) in Irish general practice, ideally with experience across more than one site.

· Strong knowledge of Irish GP funding and reimbursement (PCRS, GMS, CDM, STCs, private billing).

· Proven ability to improve operational and financial performance in a practice setting.

· Experience of leading or closely supporting other managers or senior administrative staff.

· Commercially aware and numerate, with excellent financial management skills.

· Excellent communication and relationship skills, particularly with GPs and practice teams.

· Full driving licence and willingness to travel regularly across the South West.

· Practical, hands-on and comfortable working with a degree of autonomy.

Desirable

· Experience of multi-site operations or supporting several practices.

· Involvement in practice change, system implementation or early-stage integration work.

· Experience developing operational standards or basic performance reporting.
