Salaried GP/GP Partner 

There are a huge amount of benefits to working in a rural GP practice; with fantastic wide open spaces, beautiful scenery and a great local community! So if you’re looking for a change of scenery, it doesn’t get any better than this! 

Due to retirements we’re looking for an enthusiastic, forward thinking and dedicated GP to join our friendly, supportive team at the Upper Eden Medical Practice in Kirkby Stephen. We’re looking for 6-8 sessions, however fewer sessions would be considered for the right candidate. We offer a competitive salary plus payment of medical indemnity fees and we’re also happy to help with relocation costs for the right candidate. Surrounded by spectacular scenery, the ancient market town of Kirkby Stephen at the head of the picturesque Eden Valley, is an inviting prospect for anyone who loves the outdoor life and appreciates the benefits of living in one of the most scenic locations in England. We have excellent schools and local amenities, with the added benefit of being only 10 minutes from the M6 and West Coast mainline railway, so you can reach the likes of Manchester and Newcastle with ease! 

The Upper Eden Medical Practice is a rural dispensing practice with a list size of 6700 patients and we pride ourselves on delivering an exceptional quality of care. We also recognise and value the importance of wellbeing and an effective work/life balance. Consequently we provide 15 minute appointments, scheduled daily mid-morning coffee breaks, dedicated admin time and we actively encourage special interests. You could also take advantage of the new to partnership scheme incentive which gives eligible participants a sum of up to £20,000 plus a contribution towards on-costs of up to £4,000 available to support establishment as a partner, as well as up to £3,000 in a training fund to develop non-clinical partnership skills! 

So if you'd like to work in a forward thinking, patient centered practice, with dedicated GP’s and a great support team, then we’d love to hear from you! If our vacancy sounds appealing, we would encourage you to come for an informal visit where you can take a look around, meet the team and enjoy our beautiful location!
