Job summary

Be the GP you trained to be

At Imeary Medical Group, we believe General Practice should still be rewarding.

We know the pressures GPs face: rising demand, endless administration and the challenge of balancing excellent patient care with your own wellbeing. That is why we have built a practice where your expertise is genuinely valued, your workload is sustainable and your work/life balance matters.

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Salaried GP to join our friendly, forward-thinking team for 5 sessions per week, with an optional 6th session available for the right candidate. With a stable list (4400), strong MDT support, protected administration and CPD time, and efficient systems designed to reduce unnecessary workload, this is an opportunity to enjoy being a GP again.

Clinics are 2.5 hours in length and consist of 4-6 x 15 minute face to face appointments and 6-9 x 10 minute telephone calls. You will support our two experienced Nurse Practitioners and have a GP Assistant working alongside you. You will need to be happy to cover the practice on a Thursday as the sole GP. The number of appointments are in line with safe working practice on all days and home visits are low volume (max usually 1 per week).

If you are looking for a well-run, supportive practice where you can build continuity, contribute to service development and thrive professionally, we would love to hear from you.

• Provide high-quality patient care through face-to-face, telephone and online consultations
• Manage acute and chronic conditions
