Exceptional opportunity with this innovative primary care/general practice provider at our Medical Centre in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset. There are 3 sessions available with an attractive and comprehensive remuneration package.
This position is for 3 sessions per week. A special interest in a particular area of healthcare would be an advantage, but a willingness to share the load and work with our dedicated team is a must. Symphony welcomes and supports newly qualified GPs by providing a GP Mentorship Scheme and supporting the NHS GP Fellowship Scheme so that you hit the ground running.
Burnham and Berrow Medical Centre is a large, well-established practice with an on-site pharmacy, which provides a wide range of services to around 15,000 patients. We are part of Symphony Healthcare Services, the largest GP provider in Somerset, so benefit from the experience and learning across a network of 20 practices.
Our transport links are great - The M5, Bristol Airport, and train routes to London mean that Burnham-on-Sea is very conveniently located.
Burnham-on-Sea is positioned on the edge of the Somerset levels and is home to one of the longest stretches of sandy beach in Europe and its iconic lighthouse. The town has retained much of its traditional charms and hosts a number of eateries, restaurants, and shops. Burnham-on-Sea offers something for everyone from water sports and horse riding along the beach to exploring the nearby Mendip Hills and Quantocks.
Main duties of the job
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, 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 responsibilities 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 that can be utilized in primary care. We recognize 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. About us
A medical practice with a difference - Burnham & Berrow Medical Centre takes a fresh approach to supporting and interacting with the local community. A modern, friendly, open environment where teamwork is an absolute priority.
