We are recruiting for a Business Process Manager to lead the day-to-day ownership, optimisation, and consistent delivery of core operational processes across our Healthcare division.
Working in a hands-on capacity, you will ensure effective use of key systems, including staff rostering and patient record platforms, to support efficient service delivery across a portfolio of hospital and wellbeing services.
This is a remote-based role, with some travel required in line with operational needs.
You will also lead a remote team of process professionals, driving system optimisation, workforce deployment, and continuous improvement to ensure processes are standardised, efficient, and consistently embedded across services.

What you'll be doing

You will own and manage end-to-end operational processes across a healthcare portfolio, ensuring systems and workflows are optimised to improve service delivery, efficiency, quality, and cost control. Acting as the operational owner of key systems including staff rostering, workforce management, and patient record systems, you will ensure safe staffing, capacity alignment, and compliance are consistently maintained.
You will work across core business and clinical applications to ensure processes are embedded and consistently followed, developing SOPs and addressing training gaps where needed. A key focus will be supporting operational teams to meet SLAs and performance targets, while identifying and resolving issues that impact service delivery or customer experience.
You will drive continuous improvement using operational data and performance insight, and support system changes and implementations across multiple enterprise and clinical systems from a process perspective. You will also lead and develop a remote team of process professionals, engaging stakeholders across clinical, operational, and senior teams to drive consistency, process adoption, and strong KPI performance.

What you'll bring to the role

You will bring strong operational experience within private healthcare, large-scale care delivery, or a similar regulated environment, with a solid understanding of workforce-led and clinically supported services. You will have proven experience managing and improving end-to-end business processes in a live operational setting, with a hands-on, delivery-focused approach.
You will have experience working with staff rostering and workforce management systems, with Optima rostering platform experience highly desirable, alongside confidence using operational data to drive performance and decision-making. A strong understanding of healthcare operations, service delivery, and workforce economics is essential.
You will be an experienced people leader, comfortable managing remote teams and driving accountability, prioritisation, and performance. Strong stakeholder management skills are key, with the ability to work effectively across clinical, operational, and senior teams.
You will also bring strong process improvement capability, analytical thinking, and a commercial focus on service performance, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
