Salaried GP

Invicta Health have an opportunity for a salaried GP to join our team at St James Surgery in Dover, working 2 sessions per week on a Friday.

St James Surgery is based in the seaside town of Dover, famous for its white cliffs and its strategic gateway to Europe. They are situated a short stones throw away from the beach and close to the historic Dover Castle. They are a thriving practice, supported by their patient population of circa 9000.

St James Surgery is warm and friendly with a robust multi-disciplinary team, which includes Nurse Practitioners and a Clinical Pharmacist. The multi-disciplinary team is supported by an experienced administration team who handle referrals, prescriptions, reports and other general tasks.

St James is one of seven GP practices that sit under Invicta Health. We are a well-known community interest company, devoted to supporting and improving primary care in the Kent area.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and compassionate GP who enjoys a team focus in problem-solving and also enjoys sharing knowledge. You will have excellent verbal and written communication skills and you will be an excellent listener. You will be on the General Medical Council's GP register, having passed the MRCGP (or equivalent) and gained a certificate of Completion of Training (CCT). An interest in teaching would be ideal, and the development of areas of special interest would be welcomed and nurtured.

Main duties of the job

As a Salaried GP, you would provide a wide range of primary care based general medical services to our patients in a non-judgemental, respectful manner, using a patient-centred and fully team-based approach. Good communication between colleagues is essential to the role, as we routinely share our experience and knowledge within the practice in order to optimise patient care.

Home visits by the GPs are rare.

Please note you will be required to be the Duty Doctor on the Friday and will therefore finish at 6.30pm.
