Family Physician

This is a rare opportunity to join a thriving, high-demand practice in Peterborough – Ontario’s gateway to over 250 lakes – with full-time earnings of CAD 50,000-50,000+ (approximately £189,000-£243,000) under OHIP FFS billing. The practice serves a community with significant unmet primary care need, meaning a ready patient panel from day one, a 75/25 fee split firmly in the GP’s favour, and a principal who will personally collect you from the airport.

The Practice

• Part of a ten-site, partner-led group with deep roots across Ontario – established infrastructure, no cold-start, and institutional backing behind every site.
• OHIP FFS billing – full transparency on earnings from day one, with 75% of every patient encounter retained by the physician.
• Dual walk-in and rostered family practice model – acute presentations and long-term patient relationships side by side, keeping clinical work varied and rewarding.
• On-site pharmacy – reduces repeat GP contacts and supports complex medication management without additional workload.
• High-demand community with significant unattached patient population – panel builds quickly, particularly for GPs with Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu or Arabic language skills.

Benefits

• Full-time earnings of CAD 50,000-50,000+ (approx. £189,000-£243,000) on a 75/25 split under OHIP FFS.
• Seven-day clinic coverage including evenings – additional out-of-hours income available for GPs who want to extend beyond core sessions.
• Flexible working – full-time and part-time both considered, with working patterns agreed around the GP’s priorities.
• LMIA in place – visa and credential support provided for internationally trained physicians.
• Personal relocation support from the principal – airport pickup, a welcome team meal, and hands-on help sourcing local accommodation and a vehicle.
• 2-3 year contract with a 90-day exit clause – transparent and fair for both parties from the outset.

Location Overview

Peterborough sits at the gateway to the Kawarthas – a region of over 250 lakes, the 386-km Trent-Severn Waterway, and some of Ontario’s best freshwater boating, fishing, and paddling. The city is compact and genuinely liveable: Jackson Park on Little Lake hosts summer sailing and outdoor concerts, and the Peterborough Lift Lock – the highest hydraulic boat lift in the world – is right in the city centre. For families, Riverview Park and Zoo on the Otonabee River offers free admission year-round, schools are well-regarded across the region, and housing costs sit well below the Ontario provincial average. Toronto is a comfortable 90-minute drive south – close enough for a weekend in the city, far enough to feel like a real community.

Skills and Requirements

• MRCGP or equivalent qualification
• Eligible for registration with the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC)
• AMC assessment or existing CPSO registration an advantage
• Commitment to high-quality, patient-centred primary care
• Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu or Arabic language skills a significant advantage given local patient demographics
