Cannington Health Centre

Salaried GP

The closing date is 12 December 2025

Job summary

Due to the retirement of a long-standing partner, Cannington Health Centre has an exciting opportunity for a 4-session GP (2 full days) to join the team in a salaried role. We are a dispensing practice with a list size of approximately 5,200 patients.

Cannington Health Centre is a training practice supported by three friendly and supportive partners, working alongside an experienced multidisciplinary team.

Our clinical team includes an excellent nursing team comprising advanced nurse practitioner, practice nurses, a HCA and a phlebotomist. We also benefit from the expertise of MSK First Contact Practitioners.

Working as an autonomous practitioner, you will be responsible for providing high-quality medical care to our practice population, ensuring an excellent standard of clinical practice in line with GMC, RCGP and GMS contract requirements.

We are seeking a dynamic and motivated GP to help us continue delivering an excellent healthcare experience for all our patients. We are a well-established and happy team who embrace integrated working and innovative care models while staying true to the core values of general practice.

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.

While patients at the practice are able to consult with any GP, you will be assigned a pro-rata patient list for administrative and record-keeping purposes. This allows you to provide continuity of care for your own patients while contributing to the wider practice workload

About us

  • A supportive, forward-thinking team environment.
  • Opportunities to develop specialist interests.
  • Engagement in teaching, mentorship, and research activities.
  • Competitive salary based on experience.
  • Flexible working for the home-worklife-balance

Join Cannington Health Centre and be part of a team shaping the future of primary care. If you are passionate about patient care, innovation, and professional development, we would love to hear from you.
