Job Summary
GP Intermediate Care/Hospital at Home - Various part time roles available, minimum 4PAs.

Are you a GP passionate about high-quality, person-centred care? Do you enjoy multidisciplinary working and want to shape community-based medical services? We are expanding our Intermediate Tier Services and seeking motivated GPs to join our Intermediate Care and Hospital at Home teams.

This is an opportunity to contribute to a developing GP-led model focused on excellent care for older people, strong clinical leadership and integrated community pathways. Roles are part-time, with flexible PAs agreed at interview.
