Salaried GP - 4 Sessions and above - £11,000 per session with pay review pending

We are a CQC ‘Outstanding’, supportive, innovative, and enthusiastic team passionate about excellence in patient care, education, and whole team wellbeing. We collectively enjoy our jobs as doctors despite the challenges in the NHS and have a great team, inspiring each other and embracing our differences. The doctor team is currently made up of partners, salaried GPs, GP retainers, regular locums and we are looking to strengthen our team by recruiting additional salaried GPs as some of our GPs have changed their working pattern and extensive property developments are taking place around us.

We offer you an excellent opportunity to get involved in training and education with space for GP registrars and multiple groups of medical students. We also support primary care research, and nurse training and development. We are a town-based practice with rural dispensing branches with over 18,000 registered patients over 4 sites. The main site is in Cullompton, only 20 minutes’ drive from the vibrant city of Exeter and very close to the M5. We listen and are open to making changes to continually improve our work-life balance and reduce stress, whilst maintaining excellent patient care. In the last 5 years we have…
