We have an exciting opportunity for a General Practice Assistant (GPA) to join our team.


As part of our Long Terms Conditions team, you will help to improve the medical care of patients by carrying out simple clinical observations and investigations, such as dipstick, blood pressures, phlebotomy, annual review tests and NHS health checks.

You will also be supporting our administrative team. This will involve medical coding, notes summarising, and supporting receipt and preparation of repeat prescriptions.


The role is flexible and responsive to the needs of the business so there may be some variation in ratio of clinical to admin at different times, e.g.

to cover unplanned absence. The GPA is a new role, so we are looking for someone who can adapt as the role evolves.

Previous experience in a health care setting is desirable, although any required training will be provided.
