Job overview

We are looking to appoint a Salaried GP to join our team at Westminster Surgery. The position is for 4-8 sessions per week. We are looking for the GP to cover Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

**We offer a relocation package of up to £8,000**

The relocation package is for anyone who would need to relocate in order to take up employment with Cheshire and Wirral Partnership.

To be eligible for the relocation payment, you must live more than 40 miles from the base/location of the post you are applying for and you would need to relocate to within 15 miles of the new base.

If this applies to you, please state this on your application so we can discuss this with you if you are invited to interview.

Main duties of the job

Within the contract, GPs are provided with 4hrs of CPD time per week (pro rata) during which there are opportunities for professional development, audits, service transformation and more. There are opportunities within the surgery to take a lead role (e.g. PCN, safeguarding, prescribing, sepsis lead). Your clinical supervision will be provided by our Clinical Director Dr Rajan Rajesh, who also works as a GP within Westminster Surgery. Peer supervision with medical colleagues within CWP’s two other GP Surgeries is also available and encouraged.

Based in Ellesmere Port, we have a practice population of 3,500 and are an active member of One Ellesmere Port PCN, together with 5 other local surgeries. Our practice team comprises an advanced clinical practitioner, practice nurse, HCA, clinical pharmacist, mental health worker and we are well supported by our experienced admin team. We work closely with our community care team and hold regular MDT meetings.  As part of CWP, we are supported by our safeguarding and medicines management teams, mental health colleagues and children, young people and families colleagues.
