Interface Officer

Lincolnshire LMC

Commerce House
Carlton Boulevard, Outer Circle Road
Lincoln, LN2 4WJ
Telephone: 01522 576659

Job Summary:

This will be a pivotal role within our organisation. We will rely on you to provide high quality advice and support to our medical director to support the development and delivery of our services to GPs and practices.

You will act as Interface Officer for the organisation, with responsibility for answering practice and constituent queries on all interface matters and representing the LMC in meetings with system partners. You will work closely alongside the Medical Director and Chief Operating Officer in all aspects of your role. An important part of your role will be to build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders in our local system and to be part of the constituent facing team within the organisation, keeping our GPs fully informed of your work.

You will be supported by our administrative assistant and operations officer, work closely with our Medical Director and be line managed by our COO.

We are a small and very busy team where everyone pitches in to get things done. Your workload will therefore be a mix of routine and much more varied activities when you will have the opportunity to try new things and develop your skills.

There will be a requirement to attend some evening meetings as part of this role so some flexibility will be required. The monthly LMC meeting takes place on the second Tuesday evening of the month. Attendance is an essential part of the role as interface is such a key area for our constituents. You will support the secretariat in ensuring appropriate updates are ready for this meeting and be able to answer queries from the committee to action and feedback on. We estimate that there will be an average of 1-2 evening meetings per month in total.

As well as a passion for general practice, you will have strong organisational, communication and networking skills and the ability to work with a wide range of stakeholders. You will be able to demonstrate strong planning and the ability to manage multiple workstreams at any one time.

You will be capable of working with and understanding the challenges facing GPs, practice managers and the many other organisations that impact on general practice. You will also need the capacity to think strategically, look at the bigger picture and understand how information fits together.

You will work closely with the rest of the LMC staff team, our members, and our Board of Management so an ability to work well as part of a team is essential. In addition to all of the above, we need to you to be reliable, adaptable, flexible and quick to learn.

Due to the nature of this role, there will be occasions when you will be in the office alone and will be expected to follow our lone worker procedures. We may also ask that you work from home from time to time or on a regular basis so flexibility will be required, and you will need to have a suitable dedicated space and internet connection to allow you to do this. Although our offices are based in Lincoln, we represent GPs across Lincolnshire so you must be willing to travel. It will therefore be essential for you to have a car available and insured for work.

This is a permanent post working 37.5 hours per week across 5 days. We invite applications for job shares and part time working. We are happy to discuss a suitable working pattern with the successful candidate
