Family Physician – Manotick (Ottawa), Ontario

This is a rare opportunity to join a practice where the patients are already waiting – the previous practice on site, with around eight doctors, moved out and residents now walk in daily asking for a GP. With a 75% fee split and estimated earning potential of C$350,000-C$450,000+ (approx. £190,000-£245,000) a year, this is a busy, well-rewarded full-time role.

The Practice

• Physician-led family practice with 12 exam rooms, part of a small Ottawa group with three sister clinics.
• Built-in patient base left by the previous practice on site, with the clinic ready to advertise actively once new GPs are confirmed.
• Full control over appointment length, from 5 to 20 minutes, and a hands-off approach to clinical style.
• Broad family medicine, including walk-in and acute care, paediatrics, women’s and men’s health and chronic disease management.
• The group has recently welcomed a UK-trained GP (MRCGP) at one of its sister clinics.

Benefits

• Estimated earning potential of C$350,000-C$450,000+ (approx. £190,000-£245,000) a year, full-time.
• 75% fee split on OHIP FFS billings, so earnings rise directly with patient volume.
• Strong demand from day one, with a minimum of 30 patients a day and scope to go higher.
• Evening and Saturday sessions already running, giving scope for extra billings.
• Flexible working days and finish times to fit around family life.
• Special interests welcome – the practice will build any additional skills into the role.
• Visa sponsorship via the C10 work permit route.
• Settling-in support, including an introduction to a trusted local realtor, local banking contacts, schools guidance and help arranging a car on arrival.
• Licensing and registration support from Menlo Park throughout the process.
