Clinical Lead

Clinical Lead GP | South Norwood, South London

Background
This is a genuinely unusual opportunity for a GP ready to step into clinical leadership with proper backing. The practice has recently brought in a highly experienced Medical Director who will mentor and support the incoming Clinical Lead from day one. The practice runs a total triage model, with a strong pharmacist team and trained medical assistants absorbing prescribing and admin workload, leaving GPs with focused, meaningful clinical work. The right candidate will enjoy the pace of general practice, be comfortable rolling up their sleeves, and have the appetite to grow into a genuine leadership position.

Location
The practice is based in South Norwood, South London (SE25), just off the high street with good local amenities and free parking in surrounding side streets. Crystal Palace is around 10 minutes away, Croydon town centre around 10 minutes, and Bromley around 15 minutes.

• Interest in diabetes, joint injections or GP training would be a distinct advantage
