Salaried GP with View to Partnership

Salaried GP with View to Partnership Derbyshire Dales Background

This is an opportunity to join a genuinely growth-minded practice in a beautiful part of the East Midlands, with a clear and structured route to Partnership at the six-month mark. The practice is a GP Training Practice committed to becoming a training powerhouse, and they want a GP Trainer - or someone actively working towards that status - at the centre of that ambition. If you are passionate about clinical supervision, enjoy total triage, and want to be part of a team that is expanding and innovating rather than just maintaining, this is worth reading on.

Location

The practice sits in the Derbyshire Dales, on the southern edge of the Peak District - one of the most attractive parts of the East Midlands to live and work in. Derby is around 20 minutes away, Uttoxeter approximately 20 minutes, and Stoke-on-Trent around 30 minutes. The area is popular with GPs looking to combine strong professional opportunity with an excellent quality of life.

The Practice

• GP Training Practice, with an active programme and ambitions to significantly expand training capacity across both sites
• High-achieving QOF performance at both sites
• Forward-thinking leadership team with genuine entrepreneurial energy - exploring pharmacy, APMS contracts, and new build development, with a dedicated non-clinical Partner whose role focuses on growth and opportunity
• Private mental health provision already in place alongside core NHS services
• Strong multidisciplinary team including an ACP, three ANPs, three Practice Nurses, a nurse associate, HCA, PCN Pharmacist, pharmacy technician, MH practitioner, and physiotherapist - around 50 staff across both sites
• AI-assisted document scanning and auto-filing in place, with a virtual pharmacy service handling medicines requests and reducing GP task burden
• PCN-provided home visiting service, keeping GP workload focused on in-surgery care
• Mid-sized practice serving a mixed town and rural population, with a dispensing function at both sites

Your Role

• Salaried GP position with a confirmed Partnership pathway from six months, subject to holding GP Trainer status or being actively working towards it
• 6 to 8 sessions per week - flexible on days, with one of Monday or Friday included
• Total triage model at both sites: duty doctor takes the urgent on-day workload, with care navigators and a well-developed triage workflow in place
• Appointments run at 15 minutes with 12 patients per session
• Active involvement in GP registrar supervision and training development - the practice has four clinical supervisors and is building towards up to six registrars concurrently
• Opportunity to take on lead roles in policy or training as the practice grows - the team want someone with clinical gravitas who enjoys peer supervision as much as clinical work
• Cover across both sites, with the main clinical base at the principal surgery; registrars are also placed at the second site
• Extended hours available on a voluntary basis - no obligation, separately organised and staffed
• 5+ years post-CCT preferred; the practice will consider 3 to 4 years for candidates who have been working full time and can demonstrate the confidence and clinical credibility to work independently within a triage model
• You must be qualified as a General Practitioner and registered with the GMC and UK Performers List
