We are looking for a Salaried GP to work 6 to 8 sessions, with a salary range of £10,500 - £11,500 depending on experience.
You will work in a supportive friendly practice with experienced GP Partners, ANPs, and Practice nurses. We have an open door policy so you are never on your own.
We follow the BMA contract with 15 minute appointments, including an example session of 10 face‑to‑face appointments, 2 telephone calls and SDL time built into the weekly timetable.
We are a training practice, so we can support newly qualified GPs as well as experienced GPs. You will replace a retiring GP who has worked for the practice for 32 years.
Our stable practice population of 10,500 patients is looked after by a team of 4 partners, 2 salaried GPs, 3 ANPs, 3 practice nurses, and 2 HCAs, supported by a hard‑working reception and admin team. We also work in an Integrated Care Centre housing the Community Nursing team, Same Day Urgent Care and Outreach Visiting Practitioners.
We have a total triage system where the on‑call GP will see all requests to the practice and direct them towards an appointment, redirect to appropriate service, or call the patient directly. We all share the on‑call, which is restricted to a morning or afternoon session. You are fully supported while on‑call.
