Job description

Role Overview

The Locum GP will provide general medical services to the practice's patient list, covering routine surgeries, telephone triage, home visits (where applicable), and same-day/urgent appointments as required. This role suits a GP seeking flexible, well-supported locum work with minimal administrative burden outside of clinical duties.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide general practice consultations across booked surgeries, including acute presentations, chronic disease management, and routine appointments.
• Undertake telephone triage and same-day/urgent care appointments as part of the practice's booking system.
• Conduct home visits where clinically required and agreed as part of the locum arrangement.
• Prescribe medications in line with the practice formulary and national prescribing guidelines.
• Order and interpret diagnostic tests, referring on to secondary care or allied specialists as appropriate.
• Maintain accurate, timely clinical records using the practice's clinical system (e.g. EMIS Web, SystmOne, or Vision).
• Ensure continuity of care by liaising with practice GPs and administrative staff regarding follow-up and handover.
• Work within the practice's clinical governance, safeguarding, and infection control protocols.
• Maintain professional indemnity and CPD/appraisal requirements throughout the locum engagement.

Essential Qualifications & Registration

• Primary medical qualification (MBBS or equivalent) recognised by the General Medical Council (GMC).
• Full GMC registration with a licence to practise, and inclusion on the GP Register.
• Current inclusion on the relevant Performers List (NHS England or equivalent devolved nation body).
• MRCGP (or equivalent GP vocational training completion recognised by the GMC).
• Up-to-date appraisal and revalidation in line with GMC requirements.
• Appropriate indemnity arrangement in place — via the state-backed Clinical Negligence Scheme for General Practice (CNSGP) for NHS work, supplemented by a Medical Defence Organisation (e.g. MDU, MPS, Medical Protection) for non-NHS/discretionary elements as required.
• Up-to-date enhanced DBS check (or willingness to obtain one).

Desirable Criteria

• Prior locum experience within UK general practice.
• Familiarity with common UK clinical systems (EMIS Web, SystmOne, Vision) and QOF/enhanced services frameworks.
• Experience with minor surgery, women's health, or chronic disease clinics (an advantage but not essential).
• Awareness of IR35 status and off-payroll working rules as they apply to locum GP engagements.
• Full driving licence and own transport, where home visits are part of the role.

Person Specification

• Strong clinical judgement and ability to work autonomously with minimal induction time.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to build quick rapport with an unfamiliar patient list.
• Flexible and adaptable, comfortable adjusting to different practice systems and workflows.
• Reliable and punctual, with clear availability communicated in advance.
• Collaborative approach, willing to liaise with practice staff to ensure safe patient handover.

Terms & What's on Offer

• Competitive session rates, paid promptly in line with agreed terms.
• Flexible scheduling — single sessions, block bookings, or ongoing cover available.
• Administrative and reception support provided by the practice.
• No out-of-hours or on-call commitment unless separately agreed.
• Support with indemnity, Performers List, and GMC revalidation queries where required.
