Overview
You are committed to general practice and understand the benefits of personal lists and continuity of care. You enjoy working as part of a multi-disciplinary team and would like to join a practice where patients feel "listened to" and which provides courteous and efficient service, going above and beyond to provide great services to all its patients.
Due to retirement and changes in family circumstances, we are pleased to share vacancies for a GP Partner (one permanent role) and 2 Associate GPs (one permanent role and one fixed-term maternity cover, with the potential to become permanent).
If you are someone who wants to:
* Get to know your patients to provide the best possible care
* Be an active part of the effective running of the practice
* Benefit from a well-established multi-disciplinary team including pharmacists, first contact physios, health and wellbeing coaches, and social prescribers
* Contribute to a high-functioning PCN that is making a real difference to the services we provide to patients
* Be part of a practice where the staff wellbeing committee has arranged a full advent calendar of events throughout December for all staff to enjoy
Then maybe one of these positions is for you.
For the GP Partner role, we will consider between 4-6 sessions. For the Associate GP roles, we will also consider 4-6 sessions.
For the Associate GP positions, we offer the chance to prepare for future career progression by attending partners and practice executive meetings, taking on a shadow lead role with a partner, having one-to-one coaching sessions with the practice manager around practice finance and strategy, and more.
For all positions, there may also be an opportunity to participate in the extensive medical student teaching programme we run.
Overall, we would like to recruit 16 or 17 sessions between the 3 positions. All roles are subject to a 6-month probation period.
