About us

Long Stratton is a small town in South Norfolk, 10 miles from the historic city of Norwich. We have 11,500 patients on our list, a CQC rating of Good and operate from both our main site and a branch site in Newton Flotman. We are also a dispensing practice with a dispensing list of around 5,500 patients.

We have completed our surgery expansion work with a new wing being added to include 7 clinical rooms. The reason for the expansion is that Long Stratton is being bypassed, 2,000 new homes are planned and therefore potentially 5,000-6,000 new patients will be joining us.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package including 6 weeks annual leave (plus bank holidays), the NHS pension scheme, and an Employer Assistance Programme for the employee and family members. We also offer free on-site car parking with electric car charging points being installed shortly, team building and social activities and access to NHS discounts.

We are innovative, forward-thinking and embrace change. If you are interested in joining us, then we would be very pleased to hear from you and welcome your application. Please contact Keith Burnett if you would like any further information.
