Main duties of the job

A modern GP career without the risks of partnership

We know partnership is no longer right for everyone, but many GPs still want influence and progression.

At Brookside, you can have both:

• No buy-in required
• No personal liability or property commitments
• Potential to become involved in leadership, board roles, and/or shareholding
• Opportunity to shape how care is delivered at scale

This is career progression without financial risk

• Highly competitive salary (above BMA range)
• Future additional bonus earning potential
• 6 weeks annual leave + study leave
• Flexible working options available
• Tier 2 visa sponsorship available

Why this role feels different

This is not a traditional small GP team trying to do everything.

Youll be supported by a large, highly skilled multidisciplinary team that is actively designed to support GP time and reduce pressure:

• 7 Nurses
• 5 Advanced Clinical Practitioners (ACPs)
• 2 Paramedics and 1 Nurse Consultant (lead on home visits)
• 1 Social Prescriber
• 1 Care Coordinator
• 1 Health & Wellbeing Coach
• 5 GP Assistants (handling clerical and clinical workload)
• 1 Mental Health Practitioner
• Dedicated Phlebotomist

Home visits are mostly covered by paramedics and a Nurse Consultant, supported by the duty doctor, meaning your day remains structured and predictable.

Admin is actively managed and filtered, allowing you to work at the top of your licence not buried in paperwork.
