About this role
Job summary
Are you are looking for a great place to work, a supportive team ethos and the opportunity to work in a stunning rural environment. Our Practice is based in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park, offering outstanding opportunities for walking, running, cycling and a host of other outdoor activities. Our main surgery is beside the Usk River in the pleasant market town of Brecon. We enjoy providing care to a rural and agricultural population within the scenic mountains of the Brecon Beacons. We are centrally located, with excellent main road access, which means it is just a one-hour drive to Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Hereford.
We are seeking a Salaried GP to join our team for up to eight sessions per week. We are looking for an enthusiastic GP who would enjoy the variety of work offered within the practice and the community. There is opportunity if desired to develop special interests through our supplementary services.
Main duties of the job

The Salaried GP would have the option to participate in the home-visit day, which provides an excellent opportunity to work more closely with the various members of our multi-disciplinary team, and enjoy the excitement and challenges of remote and rural medicine in a beautiful landscape. Similarly, the salaried GP would have the option to participate in the clinical care of patients in our local community hospital.

Our clinical team is supported by a Practice Nurse Team and a Physicians Assistant. We also have direct access for medicines management support through a community interest company Red Kite Solutions. We are a training practice with three GP trainers and enjoy the regular presence of registrars, Foundation Doctors and medical students from Swansea and Cardiff.
We are committed to workflow optimisation and the reduction of GP administration workload.
