GP - Ryalls Park. At Salaried, Employed or Consultant level

Symphony Healthcare Services Limited

The closing date is 19 January 2025

Job summary

Exceptional opportunity with this innovative primary care/general practice provider at our Medical Centre in Yeovil, Somerset. 4 sessions are available with an attractive and comprehensive remuneration package.

Ryalls Park Medical Centre is conveniently located close to the centre of Yeovil and provides services to a patient population of close to 5500. The medical centre offers a wide range of healthcare services provided by a multi-disciplinary team including GPs, Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Health Coaches, Practice Nurses and HCAs.

A friendly practice in a country town location, yet with the support of a network of practices behind you so you can concentrate on patient care.

We have two railway stations, making travel to London, Bristol, Exeter and Bath easy. And Bristol, Bournemouth, Southampton and Exeter International Airport links Somerset to the world.

Yeovil is an expanding town surrounded by beautiful scenery, with a green oasis at its heart Ninesprings, and Ham Hill country park a stones throw away and across the border into Dorset are Sherborne, Dorchester and the beautiful Jurassic coast. It is quickly becoming a popular relocation destination with competitive house prices and access to attractive neighbouring towns and villages. The town centre boasts numerous shops, restaurants, an entertainment complex, leisure facilities and theatre.

Main duties of the job

You would undertake all the clinical duties associated with a GP working in primary care, without the responsibilities and risks associated with being a partner. We can offer opportunities from salaried through to employed and consultant level GP posts depending on your experience and the level of responsibility you take on at the practice.

All GPs working for us are paid as Employees, unlike Partners, which means less risk for you and more time to focus on patient care. We put patients first, with our Employed and Consultant GPs working flexibly according to need, so contributing to areas such as QOF, QI, training and research projects providing a huge amount of variety to the role. However, our Salaried GPs have a clearly defined job plan setting out the hours of work and responsibility and tasks associated with the role.

Through annual appraisal, we encourage career development and progression and are keen to support GPs who wish to extend their role, or have specialist skills which can be utilised in primary care. We recognise that some GPs will wish to stay salaried, and some will wish to assume more responsibility once they have found their feet and aspire to Employed or Consultant roles.

About us

Symphony Healthcare Services was established in 2016 as part of the award-winning Symphony Programme Vanguard, developing new models of care. We now support 20 practices across Somerset (including one in Devon) providing care for 120,000 patients.

Symphony has developed a model where each practice is encouraged to operate autonomously, but as a subsidiary of Yeovil Hospital and with the backing and economies of scale from a central support team (particularly for HR and strategic management matters).

Providing NHS services is at the heart of what we do. Our vision is to ensure that primary care is sustainable for patients and practices in Somerset, and we aim to be a national exemplar for primary care provision. We work closely with our practice teams to support, develop and transform patient care and working practices with innovation and technology at the heart of what we do. We also work hard to make sure primary care has a loud voice in Somerset.
