Salaried GP

All Saints Surgery is a friendly, single site practice in Burton On Trent, caring for around 10,000 patients as part of East Staffordshire Primary Care. We are looking for an enthusiastic salaried GP to join our team and help us strengthen capacity for patients, with a particular focus on supporting timely same-day urgent care alongside good continuity for those who need it most.

This is a genuinely additional post created to expand our clinical capacity, so you would be adding to the team rather than replacing a colleague. You will work alongside 2 GP partners, 1 salaried GP, our nursing team and a wider multidisciplinary team that includes clinical pharmacists, first contact physiotherapists, social prescribers and care coordinators. We use EMIS Web and offer a supportive environment with protected time, regular clinical meetings and a real commitment to a manageable, sustainable workload.

We would be happy to talk to GPs at any stage of their career, including those recently qualified, those returning to practice, and experienced GPs looking for a settled salaried role. We can be flexible on sessions and working pattern for the right person, and we welcome an informal chat or visit before you apply.

Main duties of the job

Provide consultations to patients attending the surgery, by telephone, online and on home visits as clinically appropriate.

Take a share of duty doctor and same-day urgent access sessions, triaging and managing acute presentations safely.

Assess, diagnose and treat patients across the full range of general practice, making appropriate referrals to secondary care and other services.

Prescribe safely and cost effectively in line with practice and ICB formulary guidance, and contribute to medicines optimisation and repeat prescribing.

Review and action investigation results, clinical correspondence and documents in a timely way.

Contribute to the ongoing management of patients with long term conditions and to delivery of the Quality and Outcomes Framework and local and enhanced services.

Maintain accurate, contemporaneous and coded records using EMIS Web.

Recognise and act on safeguarding concerns for children and adults at risk in line with practice policy and statutory duties.

About us

At All Saints Surgery you will join a close, supportive team where people genuinely look out for one another. Our GPs, nurses, pharmacists and wider clinical and administrative colleagues work side by side, share knowledge openly and help each other through the busy days. New starters tell us they feel welcome from day one.

The atmosphere is calm, friendly and grounded. We protect time for a proper coffee and a chat as well as for clinical meetings, and we take workload and wellbeing seriously, so you can do good work without feeling stretched too thin. Decisions are made together and your ideas will be heard, whatever your stage of career.

You will have a manageable, well‑organised list, protected administrative time and generous study leave to support your development, appraisal and revalidation, plus the NHS Pension Scheme and the day‑to‑day backing of experienced colleagues and a strong multidisciplinary team. We are happy to be flexible on sessions and working patterns to fit life outside work. We offer free parking.

Above all, this is a place that values kindness, continuity and good medicine. If you want to work somewhere you are trusted, supported and able to build real relationships with patients and colleagues, we would love to hear from you.
