Salaried GP Opportunity (12-Month Maternity Cover) in South Molton

We're looking for a GP who is keen to contribute to a supportive team and develop their career in a way that suits them. South Molton Medical Centre is seeking a Salaried GP for a 12-month maternity cover who wants more than a traditional salaried role. Whether your ambitions lie in leadership, teaching, service development, quality improvement, or developing a specialist clinical interest, we’ll work with you to create a career pathway that matches your aspirations—even within a fixed-term role.

At South Molton Medical Centre, we don’t just employ GPs—we actively invest in their development, wellbeing, and future careers.

Whether you’re early in your career or looking for your next step, we’ll support you to grow and flourish.

Interested in leadership? We have experience supporting GPs into leadership positions within the practice, PCN, and wider system, and can provide mentoring, coaching, and protected development time.

If teaching inspires you, we will support opportunities to supervise or teach where appropriate, helping develop the next generation of clinicians and medical students.

Have a passion for a specific area of medicine? We encourage and support GPs to develop specialist interests—with dedicated time and resources where possible.

Join a collaborative, friendly, and high-performing multidisciplinary team that values mutual support, innovation, and your wellbeing.

• Wants to grow, develop, and innovate
• Is passionate about providing high-quality patient care
• Is motivated to meet the evolving challenges of general practice
• Brings energy, ideas, and a team-focused approach
• Values a healthy work-life balance and a supportive working environment

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to make a meaningful impact during their time with us.

This is more than a salaried GP role—we feel this is an opportunity to:

• Actively engage in career development rather than simply filling sessions
• Gain exposure to portfolio working and specialist interests
• Develop leadership skills at practice, PCN, and system level
• Contribute to teaching and training
• Work in an environment committed to wellbeing, flexibility, and professional fulfilment

We care for approximately 12,700 patients and are supported by a skilled MDT including GPs, nurses, pharmacists, first contact physiotherapists, care coordinators, and social prescribers. We are committed to continuous improvement, delivering high-quality care to our local community, and playing a role in shaping and supporting general practice across North Devon.

North Devon is renowned for its rugged, breathtaking coastline, dramatic cliffs, and sweeping golden beaches. The region features unique spots ranging from the dramatic terrain of Exmoor to tranquil, historic seaside villages. South Molton is a historic market town known as the “Gateway to Exmoor”, featuring a traditional Saxon-era square, a bustling Pannier Market, and independent shops—an ideal base for exploring Exmoor National Park and the Devon coast.
