Job summary
Pemberton Surgery is a forward-thinking, high-achieving training practice serving approximately 10,400 patients in Wigan, Greater Manchester.
We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic 4 session Salaried GP to join our supportive and well-established team on a 6-month maternity cover basis, with the potential for a permanent role for the right candidate. We are a very supportive training practice and mentorship/supervision for newly qualified GPs is available.

Main duties of the job

- Work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary practice team
- Manage a clinical workload supported by an effective triage system
- Contribute to maintaining safe and efficient services
- Participate in practice and PCN working where appropriate
The successful candidate will be encouraged to contribute positively to the practice, with potential for longer-term development should a permanent role become available.

Our team includes:
- 4 GP partners
