Salaried GP

Due to a rapidly expanding list size, we are looking to welcome an enthusiastic, reliable and motivated salaried GP to work 4 sessions per week, on Monday and Thursday. We would love to hear from a GP at any stage of their career, including recently or newly qualified GPs.

Main duties of the job

As a GP at Hornchurch Healthcare, your day will include capped sessions and a fair share of the administrative duties with opportunities to catch up with the rest of the team every lunchtime. If you have (or want to develop) a specialist interest, we actively encourage you to apply to see how we can help you develop a service for our patients. We have a low home visiting rate due to our proactive PCN frailty service. If you are interested in teaching or mentoring others, we have plenty of opportunities for you as we train both medical students and GP trainees.

About us

We are a dynamic, friendly, 13500 patient practice in the heart of Hornchurch. We are a well-established teaching and training practice with good reviews and a long-serving, experienced team. We are busy, but have put in place lots of processes to take the pressure off GPs, while continuing to provide excellent patient centered care. We have been awarded a rating of Good from CQC.

Our key team values are innovation, flexibility and team-working. We are focused on staff wellbeing and provide bespoke flexible working patterns and clinician mentorship if you would like it. The starting salary is £11000 per session, per annum. We believe our GPs work hard and deserve a generous leave allowance (8 weeks pa) and a week of study leave pa. We provide a BMA contract, indemnity cover and annual salary review.

We have regular practice meetings and lunches. We believe in continuous improvement and have a strong QI culture. Developing or maintaining a portfolio career is encouraged and supported. There are teaching and leadership opportunities both within the practice and across our dynamic PCN.
