Salaried GP Oldham

Come and play a part in a brilliant story of bringing hope and seeing real change in the heart of Oldham

Are you a GP looking for a leadership opportunity in a supported environment? Do you have lots of ideas you want to develop alongside an enthusiastic and skilled team?

Glodwick Medical Practice is an 11,000-patient practice run by Hope Citadel Healthcare. For the last 3 years it has been led as two separate practices by some of our most senior doctors and managers. However, with the good news that we have been awarded a long-term contract, we are officially merging and rebranding!

We are looking for a new team of salaried GPs to take the reins and build on the work that has already started. If you are motivated by providing healthcare for marginalised communities, then we think you’ll fit in great with us. The current team are not going anywhere and will transition leadership intentionally and thoughtfully, so that you have autonomy while feeling well supported.

The base sessional rate is £10,250, with uplifts for leadership, skills in consulting in another language, and responsibilities in mentoring. We will also give you protected time for admin, clinical meetings, quality improvement and development. We also have fellowship opportunities for GPs who need time and resource for personal development, including in leadership. You will join the clinical lead peer group from across the company, with time for supervision and planning on a bigger scale. You will not need to take responsibility for the budget or management of staff.

Our clinical sessions are 4.25 hours long, including 3 hours of clinical time and 1.25 hours of protected admin. Our appointments are 13 minutes long, offering a mix of face to face and telephone appointments. We have weekly clinical meetings for all the clinical team, and monthly practice meetings followed by training. Our clinical team includes established practice nurses, two care home ANPs, HCAs and a nursing associate. We also work with a pharmacist, a Focused Care worker, and an in-house counsellor. We care about our staff, ensuring we are a Real Living Wage employer, and that we provide good annual leave and sick leave for all staff. This benefits the whole team – staff that are well looked after are also motivated and compassionate towards team members and patients, making everyone’s working day a bit easier.
