Job description

Salaried GP | Just 26 patients per day | Weekly admin session | Light-touch Duty | Minimal visitsBackgroundHold your own patient list in a small practice where urgent slots are filled before anything reaches the duty doctor, and a buddy system means you never come back from leave to a mountain of work. Thursday afternoons are set aside for admin, learning and time with the wider team, and the practice is genuinely flexible on sessions for the right GP. It suits an established GP who values continuity and wants a real say in shaping a small team.

LocationThe practice is based in semi-rural north-west County Durham, near Consett, with the North Pennines close by. Gateshead is around 20 minutes away by car, with Durham and Newcastle city centre around 30 to 35 minutes. The role will suit GPs living in County Durham, Gateshead, west Newcastle or the Tyne Valley.

The Practice Small practice across two modern, purpose-built sites, with everyone working at both to keep the team connected

At least 12 months post-CCT experience required

Coil and implant skills would be a real bonus
