Are you a highly motivated GP, with a strong work ethic, looking to join a dedicated and supportive Primary Care Team?
We are seeking to recruit a salaried GP, with potential for partnership in the future if desired. Six sessions preferred but negotiable for the right candidate.
As we adapt to new challenges, we are open to discussing different approaches to the GP role, such as a primarily admin or a non-listed salaried GP, while considering flexibility to cover. We encourage out-of-the-box thinking and welcome suggestions of alternative ways of working.
