Salaried GP in Newcastle upon Tyne

We are looking for a full time qualified Salaried GP to join our large team at Saville Medical Group, for 5 clinical sessions or more (including a Friday). We offer an exceptional working environment built around professional development, flexibility, innovation, and team wellbeing. Few practices can match our commitment to protected education time, safe working conditions, and genuine support for GPs at every stage of their career.

• Protected clinic time supported by separate on-the-day triage and EPS management
• A daily support GP to handle urgent issues, trainee and medical student supervision and mentor colleagues
• Weekly paid Education Session
• Protected mentoring time for newly qualified GPs

We prioritise wellbeing and work-life balance through:

• Staff benefits – child‑care vouchers, bike‑to‑work scheme, free eye tests
• Competitive salary with transparent pay progression
• A structured, supportive induction programme

Main duties of the job

In accordance with the agreed practice timetable, the post‑holder will be available to carry out a range of general practitioner duties.
