Job overview

GP Intermediate Care/Hospital at Home - Various part time roles available, minimum 4PAs

Are you a GP passionate about high‑quality, person‑centred care? Do you enjoy multidisciplinary working and want to shape community‑based medical services? We are expanding our Intermediate Tier Services and seeking motivated GPs to join our Intermediate Care and Hospital at Home teams.

This is an opportunity to contribute to a developing GP‑led model focused on excellent care for older people, strong clinical leadership and integrated community pathways. Roles are part‑time, with flexible PAs agreed at interview.

The Stamford Unit provides intermediate care beds offering rehabilitation, end‑of‑life care, step‑up admissions and complex discharge planning. You will lead the medical care for a cohort of patients, undertake ward rounds and work closely with ACPs, Nurses, Therapists and Social Workers to deliver safe, holistic care.
