GP - Creech Medical Centre at Salaried, Employed or Consultant level

1 month ago


Taunton, United Kingdom Symphony Healthcare Services Limited Full time

Job summary

Exceptional opportunity with this innovative primary care/general practice provider at our Surgery in Creech St Michael, Somerset. 4 sessions per week (Tuesday and Friday) with attractive and comprehensive remuneration package; excellent relocation support.

A special interest in a particular area of healthcare would be an advantage, but a willingness to share the load and work with our small but dedicated team is a must.

Main duties of the job

You would undertake all the clinical duties associated with a GP working in primary care, without the responsibilities and risks associated with being a partner. We can offer opportunities from trainee through salaried to consultant level GP posts depending on your experience and the level of responsibility you take on at the practice.

All GPs working for us are paid as Employees, unlike Partners, which means less risk for you and more time to focus on patient care. We put patients first, with our Employed and Consultant GPs working flexibly according to need, so contributing to areas such as QOF, QI, training and research projects providing a huge amount of variety to the role. However, our Salaried GPs have a clearly defined job plan setting out the hours of work and responsibility and tasks associated with the role.

Through annual appraisal, we encourage career development and progression and are keen to support GPs who wish to extend their role, or have specialist skills which can be utilised in primary care. We recognise that some GPs will wish to stay salaried, and some will wish to assume more responsibility once they have found their feet and aspire to Employed or Consultant roles.
