To apply for this job GP Surgery

I'm mid forties with many successful years management experience in my current field. I'm considering applying for a deputy practice manager job in a local GP practice.

I don't have any previous health care experience however am certain I have more than enough transferable skills for the job description. My experience aligns more to a practice manager role but feel lack of knowledge/experience in health care would be step too far.

The role would mean a drop in my current salary but I feel would enable a better work life balance as I'm often "on call" which means I don't fully relax whilst away from work.

Am I being naive? Any wise words from those in similar field appreciated..

Our practice manager was receptionist when I started there 5 years ago. You've probably got more leadership experience. Go for it!

just apply - you'll either be shortlisted or you won't be - depends how your application stands up against the others.

don't disclose yor current salary if you don't have to, and don't make it sound as if you're applying because you want an easy life.

Good luck
