About this role
Job summary
Salaried GP
No on-call. No total triage. 15-minute appointments.
Be a real GP: flourish doing what you love and came to medicine to do.
Who would fit well here?
A patient-focused, caring GP who enjoys teamwork and collegiate working
Someone who wants to build lasting relationships with patients and colleagues
A GP at any career stage, including newly qualified or soon-to-qualify doctors
Someone interested in developing, or continuing, a special interest over time
But, and this is important, a person who wants to be part of the practice rather than just work sessions in it
The key thing is fit. We can support experience and development. What matters most is a commitment to excellent patient care, delivered collaboratively as a member of the team.
We strongly encourage potential applicants to speak to us informally and, ideally, come and visit. It is the best way to understand the feel of the practice and to decide whether this is the sort of general practice you want to be part of.
To apply, please send a CV and covering letter outlining your current situation and reason for application to [email protected].
We expect to run a rolling programme of visits and interviews in June and July 2026, with the aim of having our new colleague in post late summer or early autumn.
Main duties of the job
4 sessions / 2 days per week, across Garforth and Rothwell
Initially a 12-month fixed term contract
15-minute appointments as standard
No on-call sessions and no total-triage rota
Identical GP rotas across the board; partners and salaried, so the work is shared fairly by the whole team
A clinical team of 3 GP partners and 7 salaried GPs, all doing 4-6 clinical sessions
What we are trying to protect
We are unapologetically trying to practise empathetic, personal, relationship-based general practice. We want our patients to know us, and we want our GPs to know their patients.
That is why we have resisted an on-call / total-triage model. It is also why we use 15-minute appointments and why our rotas are designed to let doctors do thoughtful, satisfying work rather than simply process demand.
We pride ourselves on being a friendly practice and on taking care of each other. This is not a slogan: it is the way the place works, and it is a big part of why both our staff and patients stay and flourish together.
The team around you
You would be joining a stable, supportive clinical team, backed by super-friendly reception and back-office colleagues, 4 practice nurses, 3 HCAs, an in-house pharmacist, and an approachable management team. We are also well supported by the LS25/L26 PCN, including pharmacists, FCPs, social prescribers and other ARRS roles.
About us
Moorfield House is an 11,500-patient suburban / semi-rural practice covering the Garforth and Rothwell areas. We have grown quickly in recent years because we have stayed deliberately focused on quality of care, continuity, and a genuinely fantastic patient experience.
Our patients are generally from less deprived backgrounds and include a larger-than-average proportion of older people. We look after four care homes, including a specialist short-stay dementia hub, so there is plenty of proper family medicine: complexity, relationships, continuity and judgement.
We work from two sites, roughly six miles apart, with similar-sized populations. Garforth is a recently renovated, characterful converted house. Rothwell is a purpose-built health centre. Both are good places to work, both are about five minutes from the M1, and both have easy parking. Our whole team works seamlessly across both sites.
