Salaried GP

Background

This is a genuinely new post, not a backfill. It has been created through the GP reimbursement scheme to add real extra capacity to an established team, with a workload built around a strict daily contact cap rather than open-ended demand.

Location

The role is based in Ipswich, the largest town in Suffolk and a well-connected base for GPs across the East of England. Colchester is around 25 minutes away by car, Felixstowe around 25 minutes, and Bury St Edmunds around 40 minutes, making this a realistic option for candidates commuting from across Suffolk and North Essex.

The Practice

• Backed by shared clinical infrastructure across a wider partnership of practices, including cross-practice pharmacy team collaboration on audits and medication reviews
• A broad multidisciplinary team including nurse practitioners, pharmacists, healthcare assistants and paramedics, offering a genuinely varied skill mix
• Strong staff retention, particularly among clinicians, credited in large part to a Partner known across the team for listening to concerns and acting on them
• A large practice with a strong partnership team and a large salaried GP team
• Rated Good by the CQC, with an Outstanding rating for Well-led leadership

Your Role

• Two structured on-site days each week, each split into two five-hour sessions
• A genuine daily cap of 30 patient contacts, a real ceiling rather than a soft target
• Very low home-visiting responsibility
• A realistic partnership pathway after around 12 months for a candidate who wants to grow into the role
• Visa sponsorship available for the right candidate
• You must be qualified as a General Practitioner and registered with the GMC and UK Performers List

Salary and Benefits

• £11,000 per session
• Professional fees and indemnity covered
• NHS Pension Scheme, including life insurance and family benefits
• Enhanced CPD and study leave allowance, scaled to sessions worked
• Six weeks' annual leave plus bank holidays
• Enhanced maternity and paternity terms
