This job is now closed

Job summary

We want you to be able to do the best work of your career, confident in your care and proud of the outcomes you achieve for your patients. We work hard to ensure that our GPs are motivated and engaged in contributing to a supportive culture of mutual learning. Mereside practices are well-regarded for GP, student and nurse training. We enjoy weekly clinical meetings, quarterly half day closures, and daily coffee meetings for clinical discussions and case sharing. We also provide active mentoring and support to help with your on-going education and CPD.

Main duties of the job

The Lead GP role is the most senior role below Partner and involves taking on a mixture of responsibilities within the organisation, with a greater degree of autonomy and responsibility for areas of greater complexity. You would be responsible for ensuring a typically Group-wide approach to one or more particular areas, both clinical and non-clinical, implementing improvements as necessary to deliver ever better outcomes. The precise nature of these responsibilities can to a large degree be tailored to suit your personal interests and professional aspirations, within the context of the overall needs of the organisation.

About us

We are a supportive team who actively collaborate to ensure the best possible patient outcomes. We embrace technology to enable more effective and efficient ways of working. All practices use AskMyGP for managing patient queries, meaning our waiting time for appointments is zero and our accessibility rating is excellent. We have recently rolled out MS Teams to enable regular video meetings across sites and facilitate more rapid collaborative working.

We offer mentoring where desired. We understand how important it is to offer genuinely flexible working, and we are always open to a conversation about what working arrangements would suit your personal circumstances. If you're the right fit for us, then we'll do our best to be the right fit for you.
