About the role
- Build relationships with GP practices and PCNs
- Visit GP surgeries across your territory, meeting GPs, practice managers, and clinical leads. Build trust quickly with time-poor clinicians and make Second Nature the obvious referral choice.
- Run PCN education sessions
- Present to clinical groups and PCN meetings, explaining the referral pathways available to patients and how to access Second Nature's services. Make it simple and credible.
- Generate referral volume
- Your core metric. Everything you do - practice visits, education sessions, content distribution - is in service of generating referrals for Second Nature's services.
- Feed back local intelligence
- You'll pick up invaluable on-the-ground insight: what GPs and commissioners are thinking, how local systems are evolving, and what competitors are doing. Feed this back to the team to inform strategy.
- Manage your territory independently
- Plan your own week, prioritise high-potential practices, track all activity in our CRM, and report back clearly on progress. You won't be micromanaged - you'll be trusted to deliver.
- Represent Second Nature professionally
- Whether you're in a GP surgery, a PCN meeting, or a commissioner conversation, you represent Second Nature. Be credible, be prepared, and be someone clinicians want to work with.
