About us
At All Saints Surgery you will join a close, supportive team where people genuinely look out for one another. Our GPs, nurses, pharmacists and wider clinical and administrative colleagues work side by side, share knowledge openly and help each other through the busy days. New starters tell us they feel welcome from day one.
The atmosphere is calm, friendly and grounded. We protect time for a proper coffee and a chat as well as for clinical meetings, and we take workload and wellbeing seriously, so you can do good work without feeling stretched too thin. Decisions are made together and your ideas will be heard, whatever your stage of career.
You will have a manageable, well-organised list, protected administrative time and generous study leave to support your development, appraisal and revalidation, plus the NHS Pension Scheme and the day-to-day backing of experienced colleagues and a strong multidisciplinary team. We are happy to be flexible on sessions and working patterns to fit life outside work. WE offer free parking.
Above all, this is a place that values kindness, continuity and good medicine. If you want to work somewhere you are trusted, supported and able to build real relationships with patients and colleagues, we would love to hear from you.
