Main duties of the job
As a Salaried General Practitioner within our group, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality, patient-centred care while contributing to the continued development of modern general practice.
The role offers variety and flexibility, combining traditional face-to-face clinical sessions with digital-first care through our Digital Triage Hub. You will assess and manage a wide range of patient presentations, provide clinical decision-making and support timely access to care across our practices.
You will work collaboratively with GPs, ARRS colleagues and the wider multidisciplinary team, providing clinical leadership, supervision and support where appropriate, including contributing to the development of our wider workforce.
The role includes responsibility for providing safe and effective patient care through consultations, telephone reviews, digital triage, home visits and appropriate follow-up. You will contribute to quality improvement, service development and the ongoing evolution of care pathways across our organisation.
This is an excellent opportunity for a GP who wants to be part of an innovative and supportive team, with opportunities to contribute to the future direction of primary care, support GP education and help develop the next generation of clinicians.

We are passionate about developing our workforce and supporting career progression. With established GP Trainers across the group and ambitious plans to expand our training programme, we are committed to nurturing the next generation of General Practitioners while supporting our existing clinicians to develop specialist interests, leadership skills and educational roles.
