Job description

Job responsibilities

We have an excellent opportunity for a GP(s) to join our team. We would be particularly interested in candidates with experience in Diabetes, ophthalmology or medical education. However experience is not essential. We will provide support for those keen to develop these interests.

We are a friendly and innovative practice serving a list of over 21000 patients. We have both town and rural Practices. We are the lead Practice for the North Canterbury PCN. As a demonstration of our passion we have led on the local vaccination hub which has delivered over 100,000 Covid vaccinations.

We have a strong educational ethos and in line with this encourage all our clinicians to develop any specialist interests. To date this has included ENT, Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Family planning, Occupational health, Commissioning, Paediatrics and Public health.

This is a time of change for the Practice and also locally.

The Practice is planning a significant building project and the successful applicant will have input into the design and use.

Locally the new Kent and Medway Medical School opened in 2020 .It has a particular mandate for delivering up to a third of training in the community and we support that mandate. All of our clinicians are involved in their support and education.

Canterbury has quick access to the coast in Whitstable (8 miles) and has high speed train links to London (less than 1 hour). It is a popular tourist destination and France a short ferry-ride away or Eurotunnel.

There are 2 large universities -University of Kent and Christchurch. There are good Grammar, state and Private schools. Sporting opportunities are plentiful. Kent County Cricket Club has it’s base here.

Informal visits and enquiries are encouraged. We are happy to wait for the right candidate to join our team.
