Spectrum CIC are looking for passionate, enthusiastic, values-driven people to join our existing team of experienced GPs. We are open to people working part-time or full-time, face to face. All of our posts attract all of the benefits of NHS employment including NHS pension and time served enhancements. We warmly welcome those who may have retired and are thinking about returning into a new challenge.
Our doctors are all committed to delivering better health outcomes, tackling health inequalities, and working with some of the most marginalised patients in the country.
Main duties of the job
Prison healthcare GPs play a crucial clinical leadership role in our prison primary healthcare teams. Previous experience of working in a prison, whilst desirable, is not essential as full induction and training will be provided. There is round-the-clock access to experienced clinical supervision for new doctors who join our teams.
Our GPs tell us that personal and professional attributes of compassion, empathy, fairness, and multidisciplinary working, alongside a desire to deliver the highest quality and innovative care, are the cornerstones of a successful working model.
Line managed and supported by a Regional Lead GP, you will have access to continuing professional development in support of appraisal and revalidation through our GP forum. As a senior leader, you will have access to a full induction and a range of ongoing professional support, coaching, and development opportunities.
