Job summary

Are you are looking for a great place to work, a supportive team ethos and the opportunity to work in a stunning rural environment. Our Practice is based in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park, offering outstanding opportunities for walking, running, cycling and a host of other outdoor activities. Our main surgery is beside the Usk River in the pleasant market town of Brecon. We enjoy providing care to a rural and agricultural population within the scenic mountains of the Brecon Beacons.

We are seeking a Salaried GP to join our team for up to eight sessions per week. We are looking for an enthusiastic GP who would enjoy the variety of work offered within the practice and the community. There is opportunity if desired to develop special interests through our supplementary services.

Main duties of the job

We operate a system of total triage.
