We are looking to cover the five sessions per week, ideally from week commencing 29th June 2026, on a temporary basis for the duration of the parental leave which could be up to a year.

We support and develop our GPs with an innovative induction programme, which includes ongoing protected weekly mentoring time.

We are a supportive, friendly, caring Practice and would be a great place to enhance your GP career. We are open to new ideas and ways of working.

We actively encourage colleagues to develop individual interests and value the importance of being inspired and enthused by our work.

Ensuring a healthy work-life balance is prominent in our decision making - we strive and continue to make adjustments to our working structure to ensure this. Your opinion and well-being matter.

5 sessions per week, ideally working a full day on Mondays and Wednesdays, with some flexibility around the day and time of the fifth session, but can be discussed.
