General Practitioner

Brighton Health and Wellbeing Centre

Information:

This job is now closed

Job summary

We have an exciting opportunity for a GP to join our forward thinking & dynamic team within central Brighton & Hove, just a 5 minute walk to the beach.

If you are an experienced GP within general practice or minor illness care provision, we would love to hear from you for an informal chat in the first instance. We are a training practice and support practitioners at all stages of their development so are also open to welcoming newly qualified GPs into our team.

Main duties of the job

You will be part of large and multidisciplinary allied health professional team. Education, research and management will be part of delivering an advanced level service, but your work will be firmly grounded in direct compassionate care provision or clinical work with patients, families and disadvantaged communities. This role also comes with the possibility of joining our brilliant and innovative partnership team.

Clinical sessions involve both face to face and remote appointments and clinicians are encouraged to develop novel ways to manage patients and their care.

You will be expected to participate in training and education of professionals in primary care including nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical students, pharmacists, paramedics and physiotherapists, and attend practice-wide educational meetings.

Time is allocated for admin tasks and referrals in recognition of the increased burden on primary care professionals at this time.

Salary will be dependent on experience. We are looking to recruitment a minimum of 0.2 up to 1.0 FTE.

About us

We are a large and diverse team that holds holistic views of healthcare which integrates mainstream medicine with complementary approaches. We have raised over £100000 for our HERA programme which offers a thriving arts programme free to our patients.

We run an integrated programme called Connection Works for patients with Complex Psychological Trauma. This consists of weekly sessions for patients over a year. They are made up of Educational Workshops, Acupuncture, Trauma Informed Yoga, Equine Therapy, Foraging & Nature Walks, Trauma Release Exercises & massage.

We have a diverse practice population of 24,500 patients & are newly created following the merge of Benfield Valley Healthcare Hub & Brighton Health and Wellbeing Centre. This has greatly extended diversity further & allowed for new exciting ways of working.

We have a young & vibrant team with regular Educational Hubs & Clinical Meetings. We are committed to excellent work/life balance for our staff & are keen to try and accommodate flexible ways of working. We have won several awards over the years such as GP innovators of the Year & the Kate Granger Compassionate Care Awards.

We are committed to opening doors for those who have previously found difficulty in accessing primary care services with a special focus on disadvantaged populations. We run specialist hormone clinics covering all aspects of womens & Trans health, working closely with local groups. We also provide outreach clinics for refugees.
