Salaried GP (ARRS) in Huddersfield

We are delighted to offer an opportunity for a Salaried GP to join our team through the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS). We are seeking a positive, enthusiastic, and patient-centred GP to work 24 sessions per week. Ideally, two of these sessions would be on a Wednesday, although we can be flexible for the right candidate. This role may particularly suit someone looking to complement another part-time position or whose personal circumstances make a part-time role preferable.

Please note that this vacancy may close early if a suitable candidate is identified before the advertised closing date.

Main duties of the job

The Salaried GP will deliver comprehensive, patient-centred care across a broad range of clinical areas. This includes managing acute and chronic conditions, providing consultations via multiple formats, and making clinical decisions autonomously. They will work collaboratively with the wider practice team to ensure seamless patient care and participate in practice activities such as audits, quality improvement, and training. The role also involves effective communication with patients and colleagues, maintaining accurate clinical records, and adhering to professional and regulatory standards.

About us

Kirkgate Surgery is a thriving, friendly GP practice with a growing list size of around 3,600 patients. We are proud of our supportive team, are patient‐focused, and well‐regarded within our local community. This is an exciting time to join us as we embrace opportunities to deliver more care in the community through national initiatives.

We are a two‐partner practice, supported by a fantastic regular GP locum on Fridays. We benefit from daily pharmacy input, which significantly reduces medication queries for our GPs, and from a visiting team that greatly reduces urgent visits. Our admin team is second to none and a huge support to clinical staff.

We have a strong background in medical student and FY2 training, and will be taking on a GP registrar in August. We work hard to deliver clinical excellence and place a strong emphasis on wellbeing. Our appointment and admin structure reflects this, with no extra patients booked in at short notice. This helps us maintain a manageable workload and support wellbeing.

Being a small practice gives us high levels of continuity of care, where both patients and staff benefit from long‐term relationships. Patient feedback is consistently positive, as we foster a collaborative approach to medical care. We are proud to be high QOF achievers.

Our practice ethos is to maintain a positive, compassionate, and adaptable team culture. We support personal development and want every team member to feel valued and enjoy coming to work.
