Salaried GP

We are looking for a salaried GP to join Partners in Health with two sites across Gloucester, this will require working at both locations.

This is an opportunity for a GP who enjoys working in a team environment to join our friendly practice within the heart of Gloucester. The practice has a stable clinical staff structure, but with an increasing patient population we are now looking to augment the current GPs with an additional salaried GP(s) covering 5 sessions.

We are owned and operated by G DOC LTD, a not-for- profit organisation owned by all the GP practices in Gloucestershire. Being part of the GDOC family offers our GPs the best of both worlds: a small Practice team providing continuity of care for patients, and the support and career opportunities of a larger organisation to draw on when you want.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a new or established GP seeking a salaried position for 6 sessions (27 hours) per week.

Interviews will be held on the morning of Tuesday 21st April.
