Views: 3
ASSOCIATE (SALARIED) GP 5-6 SPW WITH VIEW TO PARTNERSHIP We have a fabulous team here at Air Balloon Surgery, making it a great place to work and to develop your GP career, with a view towards partnership. One of our four existing GP Partners is relocating, creating this vacancy within the GP team and Partnership. We are well known as a supportive, friendly, caring Practice. We actively encourage colleagues to develop individual interests and value the importance of being inspired and enthused by our work. We are open to new ideas and ways of working. This vacancy could suit GPs looking for their next steps in General Practice, or more established GPs looking for a new partnership opportunity. We will support and develop GPs with our innovative induction programme, which includes protected weekly mentoring time. Ensuring a healthy work-life balance is prominent in our decision making - we strive and continue to make adjustments to our working structure to ensure this. Your opinion and well-being matter. We introduced Total Online Triage in October, and on-call and triage are shared across the GP team on a pro-rata basis. We operate a system of flexibility around how and where administration is performed. Remote working is an option some GPs choose in order to manage their clinical administration. All salaried GPs are linked to a partner for mentoring, are encouraged to engage with the practice’s clinical education programme, and are supported in their own development needs. There is a clinical team meeting each Thursday lunchtime and successful candidates would be welcome and encouraged to attend this where possible, either in person or virtually, even if this is not a normal working day. HOURS: 5-6 sessions per week, days and details to be discussed. PAY: Pay as a salaried GP is based on an annual sessional rate of £11,755 per session per year. For a five session GP, this would equate to £58,774 gross basic pay per year, or £70,530 per year if six sessions. We also cover the cost of indemnity cover for all GPs.
