You will demonstrate safe, clinical decision-making and expert care, including assessment/diagnostic skills, for patients within GP. You will work collaboratively with the Practice team to meet patient needs, whilst supporting the delivery of policy and procedures.

You will assess, diagnose, plan, implement, and evaluate treatment/interventions and care for patients presenting with an undifferentiated diagnosis, both physiologically and psychologically. Sometimes you will be working with chronic conditions, sometimes acute, but at all times you will be providing the highest standard of patient care, with a supportive team around you, driving the best possible outcome.

You will be a fully qualified and registered GP, having maintained your position on a performer's list, a member of a recognised defence union (MPS/MDU) with a vocational training certificate or equivalent.

You will contribute to team discussions and constructively challenge, helping develop cohesive practice teams, sharing best practice and innovation. Undertake learning and communicate with us about your needs and clinical interests; we want to build your capability and develop your passions. Adhere to infection control SOPs, respect patients' and colleagues' innate dignity, and safeguard the vulnerable.

Affinity Care is a forward-thinking group of practices covering the breadth of Bradford. We work with our community, for all of our patients. We can offer you a competitive salary, driven by your experience, a competitive annual leave package, as well as mirroring BMA terms on sickness, maternity, and paternity leave.

Whether you're newly CCT or experienced, our diverse and diversified team of clinicians will support you from day one, making sure that you can explore your interests and work pattern. We want to make sure that you work not just as a clinician, but as an individual and have the opportunity to explore your own interests and how your career can grow. We are taking the lead with how we organise our service provision not just how we provide the care our communities want and need, but also how we grow as an organisation.
