General Practitioner Assistant
The closing date is 31 August 2025
Job summary
Opportunity to join a small, loyal team working across two GP sites in the lovely towns of South Shields & Jarrow.
This new role combines mostly high end administrative duties in conjunction with basic clinical skills [which can be taught in-house] and prospective certified learning as a GPA. This is NOT a hands on care/carers/HCA role-it is classed as "non-clinical".
We are open to filling a full time or part time position, dependant on candidate. Applicants must have worked in primary care already and have built up skills and knowledge in the high end administration that working in a GP practice involves. PRIOR APPLICANTS NEED NOT RE-APPLY-THANK YOU
Main duties of the job
This is a fairly new role to primary care with the aim of utilising a number of high end skills and experience to further aid the patient path through our service and support the management team in the volume of behind scenes administrative and auditing work.
There is a requirement for some basic clinical skills to meet the wider remit of this role [which can be taught in-house when needed], along with set training and assessment process in recognised GPA training certification.
