Salaried GP - ARRSNHS
Job summary
6 sessions per week |- New post
Job summaryWe cannot promise quiet days in general practice. We can promise that you will not face the busy ones alone.
If you would like to work in a friendly rural practice where colleagues know one another, share the workload and step in when someone needs a hand, we would like to hear from you.
The Cornerstone Practice is looking for a salaried GP to work 6 sessions per week. This is a new post funded through the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS). Applicants must meet the ARRS eligibility requirements in place when they start.
The salary is to be confirmed.
We are open to discussing how the 6 sessions are arranged. An immediate start is available, but we are happy to agree a later start date for the right person.
We look after approximately 9,500 patients and use SystmOne. Our clinical team includes GP partners, salaried GPs, advanced practitioners, treatment room nurses, healthcare assistants and a mental health practitioner. We also work with pharmacy, physiotherapy and social prescribing colleagues, supported by an experienced reception and administration team.
We are based in March, a Fenland market town with direct rail services to Ely, Cambridge and Peterborough.
You are welcome to visit us, meet the team and see how the practice works before deciding whether to apply. For an informal conversation or to arrange a visit, please contact Dr Laura Richardson email address [email protected]
