Job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our fantastic team at Whitemoor Medical Centre in the historic town of Belper, just 9 miles outside Derby and a stone’s throw from Derbyshire’s beautiful Peak District. One of our GPs will soon be leaving us, creating room for a new member of the team. We are looking for someone with drive and ambition to work with us as we continue to innovate and excel in Primary Care. Sessions are negotiable, with a preference for 4 or 8 sessions (including the option of a job share). To support continuity and team cover, we would ask that applicants are able to commit to working Mondays

If you are looking for a great work/life balance in a vibrant market town with easy access to both city amenities and stunning countryside, and appreciate strong clinical support, input, and leadership opportunities, this could be the ideal role for you.

Whitemoor Medical Centre is a welcoming, innovative, and progressive practice, working in close partnership with local services and our PCN to serve our practice population of 12,547 patients. We are an accredited training practice and founding partner of the Joint Derbyshire Training Hub that is commissioned by Health Education England. We are also a Tier 3 research practice, conducting high quality clinical research to help us improve NHS care.

Main duties of the job

You will work alongside GPs and other colleagues providing full general practice level healthcare to our 12,547 patients, with a proportionate number of patients under your care to support continuity. Additionally, we would welcome you taking on clinical leadership for a particular area of interest or need within the practice over time.

Your working week will be divided into sessions (morning and/or afternoon) including face-to-face and telephone appointments, Duty GP cover, and administrative time. A buddy system is in place to ensure support amongst GP colleagues for pathology and correspondence during annual leave, and all GPs provide clinical support and leadership to the wider practice team.

We are supported by the PCN Team Up service and our wider clinical team, who undertake the majority of home visiting. On occasion, you may be asked to complete a home visit (including palliative/end-of-life visits), for example when the service is at capacity or where continuity and timely clinical review is needed. Our team is cohesive and supportive, and we are proud of the positive working culture we have developed at Whitemoor Medical Centre.
