If you're looking for a role where you'll be valued, supported and given the time to provide high-quality patient care, we'd love to hear from you.

Our salaried GP team is led by a dedicated GP Partner, and you will benefit from regular one-to-one meetings, mentorship and structured support throughout your probationary period to ensure a smooth transition.

Following an initial settling-in period, there will be a shared commitment to the practice duty doctor rota. This responsibility is distributed fairly amongst the doctors, regularly reviewed and supported by an experienced Duty Receptionist team. Our duty system works well, supporting new ways of working while maintaining safe, effective patient care.

We're looking for someone who enjoys working as part of a team, values continuity of care and is committed to providing high quality patient care.

You'll be joining a supportive and collaborative practice where colleagues are approachable, new ideas are welcomed and everyone contributes to the continued development of the service.
