Cathedral Medical Group Salaried GP - temporary and permanent

The closing date is 01 October 2026

Apply for this job

Job summary

We are seeking a Salaried GP to cover a 6-month absence. We are happy to discuss both temporary and permanent positions.

Ideally, the GP would work 6 sessions a week across 3 days, but we are happy to discuss this.

We are situated in central Chichester.

Main duties of the job

Appointments:

We work to the BMA safe working standards. The standard clinic is 13 patients in the morning and 12 patients in the afternoon. 15 minute appointments.

You will take a fair share of Duty Doctor sessions. As Duty Doctor, you work the whole day either as the Triaging GP, or the Duty Doctor, but you work as a team and cross cover. Duty clinics are supported by a paramedic and an ANP.

Visits:

The majority of visits will be covered by our paramedic but there will be times when you will need to visit patients. During periods of annual or sickness leave we would expect some flexibility to help cover the visits required.

Paperwork:

You will be responsible for the filing of your own requested investigations for your patients. If GPs are on leave, you may receive some of theirs in rotation to deal with. Workload is capped.

Patient letters are workflowed, and only passed to the named GP when there is a task for them to complete.

Prescriptions are signed by the Duty team.

Supervision of other clinicians:

When you are the Duty Doctor, you will be supporting the Nurse team and the non-medical prescribing team. Supervision capacity is built into your workload.

About us

Located in the heart of the historic city of Chichester, we are a friendly dispensing practice with a patient list of approximately 14,000. Our clinical team comprises three GP partners and seven salaried GPs, supported by a strong multidisciplinary workforce including a Paramedic Practitioner, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Clinical Pharmacist and First Contact MSK Practitioner. While Chichester is widely recognised as an affluent area, our practice serves a diverse population with levels of deprivation that are higher than those seen in many neighbouring practices, providing an interesting and rewarding mix of clinical work.

We have a strong focus on our team, and run Mindfulness sessions (led by one of our salaried GPs), take part in Parkrun, have recently established craft sessions, and have various social events including the Christmas party, escape rooms, and quiz nights.
