Overview & Principal Contract Terms

This post provides an opportunity for a suitably qualified candidate with the right clinical skills to undertake a fixed-term associate GP role within a well-run GP medical practice in Bristol starting in September/October 2026.

The suitable candidate will manage a caseload and deal with a wide range of health needs in a Primary Care setting, ensuring the highest standards of care for all registered and temporary patients.

We offer full workflow optimisation to help manage your administrative workload. An induction programme and a mentor for ongoing support. We are a dynamic and innovative team, always open to new ideas.

We are recruiting for 3 –4 sessions a week. The post holder will receive an annual sessional rate of £11,550 per session per annum.  The successful candidate will ideally be available to work on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.

There is an expectation that all clinicians contribute to any additional NHS contractual hours. At this time, this would be for 30 minutes per week but you could collate these into larger chunks of time if you preferred to make them less frequent. Time off in lieu /shifting usual surgery times would be offered in exchange.

You will accrue pro-rata annual leave and study leave. The full-time equivalent for one year is 6 weeks annual leave plus bank holidays, plus one week’s study leave. Leave is taken in accordance with our staff handbook and is calculated and accrued pro-rata.

On-call sessions are calculated fairly and equally between all GP’s. The pro-rata share is based on the total number of sessions worked by all the GP’s.

The contract includes membership with the NHS Pension Scheme and reimbursement for any MDU fees for the period of the contract.

At this stage the contract is fixed term but if any opportunities arise to extend the contract, such opportunities will be discussed with the successful candidate at that time.

If you have any questions, please contact Dr Amy Davies (Partner); amy.davies26@nhs.net

Please apply by providing your CV and a covering letter of no more than one side of A4 as to why you are the right person for the role and send this to Catherine Farrington (Practice Manager); catherine.farrington@nhs.net   Please also include the days you are able to work.

We wish you the best of luck with your application!
