GP, Exmoor Medical Centre - at Salaried, Employed or Consultant level
Exceptional opportunity at our Practice in Dulverton, Exmoor, which has been rated as 'Outstanding' by the CQC following an inspection in April. 4 sessions with attractive and comprehensive remuneration package; excellent relocation support.
We are proud to be an accredited training practice as a part of the Somerset GP Vocational Training Scheme so would welcome and support newly qualified GPs. We can provide an assigned GP trainer, access to an in-house GP Mentorship Scheme and we support the NHS GP Fellowship Scheme so that you hit the ground running.
Our practice list is about 4,000 patients so small enough for you to know our patients well, but we’re also part of Symphony, the largest GP provider in Somerset so benefit from the experience and learning across a network of 20 practices.
Based in Dulverton, on the edge of Exmoor National Park, Exmoor Medical Centre provides easy access to walking and cycling along with kayaking and windsurfing on the nearby Wimbleball Lake. We are just a 45 minute drive from Taunton, Exeter and Barnstaple, across the beautiful Somerset countryside.
We ensure our clinicians have a manageable day through the introduction of GP early and late clinical shifts allowing for a healthier workload with flexibility and remote working for admin tasks. We have a diverse multidisciplinary team of GPs, advanced nurse practitioners, practice nurses, HCA’s and friendly and efficient administration team.
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.
