Fixed-Term Salaried GP – Maternity Cover

Up to 8 sessions per week | Full-time or part-time considered
The Peninsula Practice, Suffolk

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and committed Salaried GP to join our friendly and supportive team at The Peninsula Practice on a fixed-term basis.

We have up to 8 sessions per week available

We are very happy to be flexible in how these sessions are filled and would welcome applications from GPs looking for anything from 4 to 8 sessions per week. The post could therefore suit one GP looking for an 8-session working week, or potentially two GPs wishing to work approximately 4 sessions each.

About us

The Peninsula Practice is a friendly rural practice serving communities across the beautiful Suffolk peninsula.

We operate across three sites:

• Alderton Health Centre, Mill Hoo, Alderton, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP12 3DA
• Orford Surgery, Rectory Road, Orford
• Aldeburgh Surgery, Victoria Road, Aldeburgh

We are a mixed dispensing and non-dispensing practice, with dispensaries operating from two of our sites.

Our established clinical team currently includes 2 GP Partners and 5 Salaried GPs, supported by a highly skilled and experienced nursing team and wider multidisciplinary workforce.

We pride ourselves on providing support and a ‘can do’ approach within our practice team, encouraging everyone to be a leader, and in turn to be able to provide high-quality, patient-centred care to our rural population. We work closely and collaboratively with our PCN and wider community services,

The role

We are looking for a GP who enjoys being part of a collaborative practice team and who is committed to delivering high-quality general practice.

The successful candidate will undertake the usual range of GP responsibilities, including:

• Face-to-face and telephone consultations
• Management of acute and chronic conditions
• Prescribing and medication reviews
• Referrals and associated clinical correspondence
• Home visits where appropriate
• Participation in the wider clinical responsibilities of the practice
• Working collaboratively with our nursing, dispensary, administrative and PCN teams

We appreciate that GPs increasingly value flexibility and a sustainable work-life balance, so we are very happy to have a conversation about how the available sessions could work for the right candidate(s).

What we can offer

• Up to 8 sessions per week
• Flexibility for the sessions to be filled by one GP or potentially split between two GPs
• Competitive salary, dependent on experience
• A friendly and supportive GP and multidisciplinary team
• Highly skilled and experienced nursing support
• Collaborative working with our PCN and wider healthcare teams
• Varied general practice across three rural Suffolk locations
• The opportunity to become part of an established and welcoming practice team

About you

We would be delighted to hear from GPs who are enthusiastic, approachable and enjoy working collaboratively.

Applicants should hold full GMC registration and be included on the NHS England Medical Performers List.

Whether you are an experienced GP, looking for a change of environment, returning to practice, or looking for a fixed-term opportunity that offers some flexibility around your existing commitments, we would be very happy to hear from you.
