Churchmere Medical Group
Salaried GP
The closing date is 20 December 2026
Job summary
Why we are recruiting. After over 30 years at Churchmere, our senior partner is retiring. We are looking for a permanent salaried GP to join us for 68 sessions. For the right person, there is the opportunity to progress to partnership in the future.

How we have built the GP role. Our nurse-led team handles much of the acute same-day demand. Our paramedic team do the bulk of home visits. We have also worked hard to strip hidden admin out of the GP day.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary, dependent on experience, on BMA model contract terms, plus the NHS Pension.
• 6 weeks annual leave and 1 week study leave.
• 15-minute appointments.
• A fair, shared duty rota.
• Daily clinical coffee at 11am where questions get asked, cases get shared, and nobody is left alone with a difficult decision.
• Extended access and out-of-hours extra work opportunities (not essential) for additional income.
• GP buddy scheme, one-to-one mentoring and support from one of our GP partners.

Come and see us. For an informal chat or a visit, contact Jenny (managing partner) at jdavies12@nhs.net or Nick (GP partner) at nick.vonhirschberg@nhs.net. We would rather meet you over coffee than over a form.

Skilled Worker visa sponsorship is available for eligible candidates.

Main duties of the job
You will provide face-to-face and remote consultations, with the support of a nurse-led acute team and a paramedic home-visiting service. You will manage results and correspondence for patients within a streamlined workflow, and you will be encouraged to develop a clinical or portfolio interest with practice support.
