Symphony Healthcare Services have an exceptional opportunity to join an innovative primary care / general practice provider at Martock and South Petherton Surgeries in Somerset.Job Summary

Symphony Healthcare Services have an exceptional opportunity to join an innovative primary care / general practice provider at Martock and South Petherton Surgeries in Somerset.

We have multiple vacancies, with up to 8 sessions available and we offer excellent sessional rates of pay, plus many other employee benefits.

Our integrated, multidisciplinary team includes health coaches, advanced nurse practitioners and a medicines management team and provides a wide range of services to around 10,800 patients. Were also part of Symphony, the largest GP provider in Somerset so benefit from the experience and learning across a network of 20 practices.

Friendly practices in quintessential village locations, yet with the support of a network of practices behind you so you can concentrate on patient care.

We are close to the A303, making travel to London, Bristol, Exeter and Bath easy. And Bristol, Bournemouth, Southampton and Exeter International Airport links Somerset to the world.

Martock is a historic village situated on the edge of the Somerset levels, within easy reach of the Blackdown Hills, the Mendips, the Quantocks, Exmoor and the Dorset coast. The neighbouring village of South Petherton hosts a variety of cafes, farm shop and wildflower meadows. The A303 provides easy access to the bustling towns of Yeovil and Taunton.

Main duties of the job

As a Symphony GP, 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.

We can offer opportunities from salaried to employed level GP posts, depending on your experience and the level of responsibility you take on at the practice.

All GPs working for us are paid as Employees, unlike Partners, which means less risk for you and more time to focus on patient care. We put patients first, with our employed and consultant GPs working flexibly according to need, so contributing to areas such as QOF, QI, training and research projects providing a huge amount of variety to the role. However, our Salaried GPs have a clearly defined job plan setting out the hours of work and responsibility and tasks associated with the role.

Through annual appraisal, we encourage career development and progression and are keen to support GPs who wish to extend their role, or have specialist skills which can be utilised in primary care.

We recognise that some GPs will wish to stay salaried, and some will wish to assume more responsibility once they have found their feet and aspire to employed or consultant roles.

Providing NHS services is at the heart of what we do. Our vision is to ensure that primary care is sustainable for patients and practices in Somerset, and we aim to be a national exemplar for primary care provision.
