Parental/Maternity Leave Cover Salaried GP – 5 sessions AIR BALLOON SURGERY, BRISTOL
A great opportunity to one of our Associate (Salaried) GPs is planning to start Parental leave at the end of June 2026. We are looking to cover the five sessions per week, ideally from week commencing 29th June 2026, or as soon as possible after this date, on a temporary basis for the duration of the parental leave which could be up to a year.
We support and develop our GPs with an innovative induction programme, which includes ongoing protected weekly mentoring time.
We are a supportive, friendly, caring Practice and would be a great place to enhance your GP career. We are open to new ideas and ways of working.
We actively encourage colleagues to develop individual interests and value the importance of being inspired and enthused by our work.
Ensuring a healthy work‑life balance is prominent in our decision making – we strive and continue to make adjustments to our working structure to ensure this. Your opinion and well-being matter.
We are a GP Training Practice. We support medical students, Foundation doctors and ST trainees.
Hours
5 sessions per week, ideally working a full day on Mondays and Wednesdays, with some flexibility around the day and time of the fifth session, but can be discussed.
Pay
Pay is based on an annual sessional rate of £11,755 per session per year. For a five‑session GP, this would equate to £58,774 gross basic pay per year, or £4,898 per calendar month. We also cover the cost of indemnity cover.
