We need you!

We’ve had a baby boom where 4 of our GPs are away on maternity leave – not contagious – we believe there’s something in the water!

This means we are looking for more calm, capable hands to look after our lovely patients.

We just need you to bring your clinical skills, ability to function after busy clinics, and good vibes and humour to our genuinely friendly team of over 100 staff.
