Somerton, United Kingdom Symphony Healthcare Services Limited Full time

Job summary

Exceptional opportunity with this innovative primary care/general practice provider at our Surgeries in Somerton and Ilchester, Somerset. 3 sessions are available with an attractive and comprehensive remuneration package.

Buttercross Health Centre is located in Somerton and provides healthcare services for the town and the surrounding villages. In July 2018, Ilchester Surgery became a branch surgery of Buttercross Health Centre, with both practice teams joining together to become one larger team, to provide healthcare services across both locations. Just over 7,500 registered patients are now part of one patient list and are able to use healthcare services at either location. Were also part of Symphony, the largest GP provider in Somerset so benefit from the experience and learning across a network of 20 practices.

Both are friendly practices in beautiful Somerset locations, yet with the support of a network of practices behind you so you can concentrate on patient care.

Our transport links are great - we have fast links to London, Bristol, Exeter and Bath by rail or road. And Bristol, Bournemouth, Southampton and Exeter International Airport links Somerset to the world.

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 salaried through to employed and 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.
