About us
St Pauls Clinic is a busy GP practice in Newport, providing NHS primary care to a diverse local community.

We work in an area with significant health inequalities and a wide range of clinical, social and communication needs. No two days are quite the same, and the work can be challenging, varied and genuinely rewarding.

Our multidisciplinary team includes GPs, an Advanced Paramedic Practitioner, Clinical Pharmacists, nurses, healthcare assistants and an experienced administrative team. We work closely together and make good use of the skills across the whole team.

Our patients come from many different backgrounds and speak a wide range of languages. Good communication, flexibility and an understanding that one approach will not work for everyone are important parts of working here.

St Pauls is busy and we do not pretend otherwise. We value people who are practical, kind, reliable and comfortable working as part of a team.

In return, you will work with a team that understands the pressures of primary care, supports one another and is always looking for sensible ways to improve things for both patients and staff.

If you want to work somewhere where the work matters, the population is varied and people are encouraged to contribute ideas, St Pauls may be a good fit.
