Fixed Term Salaried GP, Leighton Buzzard - #195725

Salaried GP (Maternity Cover) | Leighton Buzzard

Background

This is a rare Salaried GP opportunity where clinical work comes without the usual weight of day-to-day admin and script chasing. A well-established Duty Team model absorbs the bulk of same-day demand, leaving GPs free to focus on patient care and their own clinical development. This fixed-term role covers a period of maternity leave, with genuine flexibility in how the sessions can be worked.

Location

The practice is based in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, a well-connected market town with a direct rail line into London. Milton Keynes is around twenty minutes’ drive, Dunstable around fifteen minutes, and Aylesbury around twenty five minutes, making the role accessible for candidates commuting from across a wide area.

The Practice

• PCN-lead practice for the local area, with genuine influence over how services are run across the network
• Two well-managed local care homes, with GPs rarely required to visit in person
• Strong partnership team, supported by a stable, experienced practice management team with senior members in post for well over a decade
• Strong staff retention, including a clinician who returned to the practice as a Salaried GP after a period of retirement
• Purpose-built premises with dedicated staff parking
• Mid-sized practice on a GMS contract
• CQC rated Good
  
  

Your Role

• Genuine Duty Team model, with Allied Health Professionals absorbing the bulk of day-to-day admin and script work

• 6 sessions as standard, split between routine and Duty sessions, with flexibility to extend to 8 sessions for the right candidate
• Light home visiting, averaging around one visit every other day
• Minor surgery, or an interest in moles or diabetes, would be well received
  
  

Requirements

• Minimum of one year’s post-CCT experience
• Current UK professional registration and eligibility to work in the UK
  
  

Salary And Benefits
