About us
We are a small semi-rural practice with a growing population of 7,400 registered patients and 450 diabetic patients. Our boundary area mainly covers the villages of North Common, Oldland Common, Cadbury Heath, Warmley, Longwell Green, Willsbridge, and up to Bitton. We have a team of clinical GPs, nursing staff, a clinical pharmacist, a physiotherapist, a Practice Manager, an Assistant Practice Manager, and admin support staff.
Our practice ethos is very much based around continuity of care, support, and good team working. We are proud to say that in 2023 we were rated second in Bristol, North Somerset & South Gloucestershire in the National Patient Satisfaction Survey. This is down to the hard work of the entire practice team. We have a team of fantastic and dedicated staff who complement each other in their knowledge, skills, and experience. We get together socially to encourage friendships and to bring the team together. We are fortunate to have a lovely garden at the front of the practice so in the summer we often have lunch outside. We also support charitable work with an annual practice sponsored walk and other events.
We operate from a converted farmhouse in the village of North Common which has plenty of free parking for staff. All consulting rooms are situated on the ground floor and there is a small dispensary next to reception. Upstairs houses admin rooms, the staff room and kitchen, plus a room for meetings and training. Patients are encouraged to see their named GP and are offered a mix of same-day and pre-bookable face-to-face appointments plus telephone consultations.
Interested candidates can send their resumes to the contact person as above in the job posts.
