GP Oaklands Surgery and Yeovil Health Centre at Salaried (including Newly Qualified), Employed or Consultant level

Exceptional opportunity with this innovative primary care/general practice provider at our Surgeries in Yeovil, Somerset, with 6 sessions available.

Salary: Between £11,000 - £14,000 per session - based on experience and level of GP role undertaken in practice.

Oaklands Surgery is an urban practice providing high quality healthcare services. In September 2, it merged with Yeovil Health Centre to offer almost 11,000 registered patients from both practices. Both are Training Practices supported by health coaches, advanced nurse practitioners and workflow and medicines management hubs.

Yeovil has two railway stations making travel to London, Bristol, Exeter and Bath easy. It is also in close proximity to Bristol, Bournemouth, Southampton and Exeter International Airport linking our practice in Somerset to the world.

Yeovil is an expanding town surrounded by beautiful scenery with a green oasis at its heart Ninesprings and Ham Hill country park a stones throw. Across the border into Dorset are Sherborne, Dorchester and the beautiful Jurassic coast. It is quickly becoming a popular relocation destination with competitive house prices and access to attractive neighbouring towns and villages. The town centre boasts numerous shops, restaurants, an entertainment complex, leisure facilities and theatre.

You would undertake all the clinical duties associated with a GP working in primary care, without the responsibilities and risks associated with being a partner. We can offer opportunities from salaried through to employed and consultant level GP posts depending on your experience and the level of responsibility you take on at the practice.

All GPs working for us are paid as Employees, unlike Partners, which means less risk for you and more time to focus on patient care. We put patients first, with our Employed and Consultant GPs working flexibly according to need, so contributing to areas such as QOF, QI, training and research projects providing a huge amount of variety to the role. However, our Salaried GPs have a clearly defined job plan setting out the hours of work and responsibility and tasks associated with the role.

Through annual appraisal, we encourage career development and progression and are keen to support GPs who wish to extend their role, or have specialist skills which can be utilised in primary care. We recognise that some GPs will wish to stay salaried, and some will wish to assume more responsibility once they have found their feet and aspire to Employed or Consultant roles.
