What do we need?

We are looking for an engaged, positive, friendly, hard-working and resilient individual to join our team at Cheadle Medical Practice.

It is a requirement for the role that you can be employed under the ARRS scheme, and that you meet all criteria for this.

We're working in an area with a very busy day-to-day operation, so we need someone flexible and resilient. We operate a system of triage designed to protect GPs from unnecessary workload.

The post is for two days per week. Currently we allocate one On Call doctor per day, so you would be expected to be part of this rota.

In our PCN, we have access to a Pharmacy Hub, First Contact Physio, Social Prescriber, Care Coordinator and Visiting Service, as well as Workflow Optimiser and Medical Reports Lead to help reduce GP workload.

We are happy to be flexible where we can around working days, but generally we are looking for applicants to be available on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday.

How to Apply

Please apply using the portal. The deadline is Monday 26th May 2025 at 11:59pm.

Main duties of the job

A Typical Day

  • 15 appointments in the morning session, 13 appointments in the afternoon session (10 minute appts).
  • We have an allocated 'on call GP' each day, and two paramedics who do the majority of the home visits. This means when you are doing normal sessions, any additional visits are built into the morning, rather than being 'extras'.
  • On Call doctor each day required to stay until 6:30pm. Any GPs working a normal day leave when the work is finished, which can be earlier.
  • A 'fair share' of daily paperwork (lab reports, prescriptions, clinical letters etc.) with appropriate limits to protect capacity.
  • We are a very busy practice, but we try our best to avoid extras where possible.
