We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed GP to join our team for 2-4 sessions per week, available on Mondays, Tuesdays and/or Fridays. We are flexible on the pattern and happy to work around the right candidate. (We may appoint more than one GP if works well for all parties).

Both newly qualified and more experienced GPs are welcome to apply.
