Main duties of the job
What do we need from you? A "can-do" attitude; the embracing and involvement of new ideas, a natural respect for all our Staff, a team approach and a driven belief that we within General Practice are the bedrock of the future of the health provision, and promotion for our community within the new integrated care systems. We are extremely passionate about education and training and would want you to feel the same.

What do you get from us? Encouragement, support, flexibility & a business that listens, wants you to succeed & develop. We are a well-established training Practice for GPs, PAs, Pharmacists, Nurses and Advanced Clinical Practitioners. We encourage newly qualified GPs to undertake a 2 year Fellowship. We are also part of a fully supportive & collaborative Primary Care Network.

About us
Our Staff are awesome. There is strong managerial support and a very supportive peer group in place; twice daily reflection and learning opportunities, regular staff meetings and Partners who will encourage you. We have sausage roll Tuesdays, a Triathlon Team and great parties in the summer (when there are no pandemics). Everyone's door is always (metaphorically) open, and we encourage discussion and chat throughout the day.

What is important to us? The right candidate. We want this to work for you and for us, so its important that you have a chance to check out that we are your square peg to our square hole.

We are also prepared to wait for the candidate that is quietly looking at their next steps and perhaps isnt ready for an immediate change but an imminent change. So, if you want to check out what could be on the horizon then come and have a look around, an informal chat and who knows, if its a Tuesday you might even get a locally made sausage roll for your troubles.
