Job summary
As a not-for-profit GP Federation, South Downs Health and Care is slightly different in that we are not a GP Practice with our own list of patients. Instead, we provide services at scale such as out of hours NHS GP services on behalf of local practices (pre-booked appointments), Flu and Covid Vaccination Services and much more! SDHC also provide a Private GP service to the local community.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Salaried GP to join our busy and friendly team.
This would be on a permanent, full-time basis. Please email the contact email address if you'd like to book a chat with Fiona Collins, Chief Operating Officer, to understand more about the hours and how it works.
You will join our team of GPs, GP Trainees, Advanced Clinical Practitioners, Vaccinators and Phlebotomists who work extremely hard in providing services to support GP Practices in East Sussex.
Main duties of the job
The salaried GP is responsible for providing medical
care and a range of services to our member practice population. This will
include, but is not limited to, face-to-face and telephone consultations, help
with new projects/ potential contracts, administration, and the education and
training of junior/trainee clinical staff. You may be required to work during
some evenings and weekends.
About us
Our vision is Better Health & Wellbeing. Today & Tomorrow.
We enjoy and value a friendly atmosphere across the company with staff who are willing to work collaboratively, with a 'can do' approach and who like to be busy. We operate a culture where staff are encouraged to be accountable and are willing to give and receive feedback directly with each other in a respectful way so that we can all learn together and from each other.
