GPs in this role will focus on clinical duties typical of primary care without the burdens associated with partnership. Symphony Healthcare values career development, offering flexibility in work responsibilities, opportunities to engage in quality improvement initiatives, research, and the chance to progress to higher-level roles as desired. The supportive environment encourages GPs to leverage their skills and aspirations, ensuring a fulfilling career path while prioritizing excellent patient care.

Exceptional opportunity with this innovative primary care/general practice provider at our Medical Centre in Wiveliscombe, Somerset. 3 sessions are available with an attractive and comprehensive remuneration package and employee benefits.
We have a modern purpose built surgery with a dispensary situated within the building and care for about 6,700 patients in the local community. Were also part of Symphony, the largest GP provider in Somerset so benefit from the experience and learning across a network of 20 practices.
A friendly, country practice in a rural location, yet with the support of a network of practices behind you so you can concentrate on patient care.
We have fast links to London, Bristol, Exeter and Bath by rail or road. And Bristol, Bournemouth, Southampton and Exeter International Airport links Somerset to the world.
Wiveliscombe is a thriving small town surrounded by beautiful countryside, set in the Brendon Hills on the edge of Exmoor. The town is a short drive away from the county town of Taunton, which has much to offer including diverse shopping, restaurants, and regularly hosted international music and sporting fixtures. There are excellent private and state schools in close proximity, with Taunton being home to public institutions such as Kings College, Queens College and Taunton School, to award winning state school Richard Huish College.
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.
