Salaried GP (Maternity Cover) | Leighton Buzzard
Background
This is a rare Salaried GP opportunity where clinical work comes without the usual weight of day-to-day admin and script chasing. A well-established Duty Team model absorbs the bulk of same-day demand, leaving GPs free to focus on patient care and their own clinical development. This fixed-term role covers a period of maternity leave, with genuine flexibility in how the sessions can be worked.
Location
The practice is based in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, a well-connected market town with a direct rail line into London. Milton Keynes is around twenty minutes’ drive, Dunstable around fifteen minutes, and Aylesbury around twenty-five minutes, making the role accessible for candidates commuting from across a wide area.
