Main duties of the job
As a Symphony GP, you would undertake all the clinical duties associated with a GP working in primary care, without the responsibilities and risks associated with being a Partner.
We can offer opportunities from salaried to employed level GP posts, depending on your experience and the level of responsibility you take on at the practice.
All GPs working for us are paid as Employees, unlike Partners, which means less risk for you and more time to focus on patient care. We put patients first, and our GPs work flexibly according to need, so contributing to areas such as QOF, QI, training and research projects providing a huge amount of variety to the role.
However, our less experienced GPs have a clearly defined job plan setting out the hours of work and responsibility and tasks associated with the role.
Through annual appraisal, we encourage career development and progression and are keen to support GPs who wish to extend their role, or have specialist skills which can be utilised in primary care.
