The practice
In the heart of the community and based in the thriving town of Buckingham, facilities at our purpose-built practice include 3 consult rooms, operating theatre, preparation room, separate dog and cat wards and all the equipment you would expect from a leading GP practice, as well kitchen/office space for our colleagues.

We can be flexible with days off and start and finish times, ensuring a good work/life balance is achieved, with just 1 in 3 Saturdays although this is also open to discussion.

1. Competitive salary up to 65,000 FTE and depending on experience
