Job summary
Looking to take a break from full-time general practice, or would you like greater flexibility?
Welcome to Solent GP Surgery... Just the Right Medicine for Your Career!
We're recruiting a Salaried or Retainer GP to work within our Solent GP Surgery. We're keen to support the general practitioners to work flexibly and stay working within general practice. We are looking to recruit 2 to 8 clinical sessions a week and really welcome a portfolio GP or those who want to explore other interests
Why work at Solent?
Testament from one of our GPs:
We have an eclectic mix of patients across the socioeconomic scale and the pathology is fascinating! We have a fantastic team who have been with me through some of my worst life experiences. I can honestly say the team is one of the main reasons why I have been with Solent for so long!
We are a diverse and sociable workforce who enjoy a range of nice calm picnic socials alongside slightly noisier Christmas socials.
The GPs are all salaried with lead roles available if you show an interest in a particular area. The workload is fair and equitable (another reason for joining).
Come and join us!
If you are a qualified GP (MRCGP or equivalent) and on the GP Performers list, we'd love to hear from you! We welcome informal visits or chats. We are passionate about equality, diversity and inclusion and creating a culture that allows everyone to flourish.
