Salaried GP

A near once-in-a-career opportunity to live and work as a GP on the Isles of Scilly. A hugely popular tourist destination, the five inhabited islands represent a unique opportunity for a Salaried GP to provide holistic care to the residents of the famed archipelago.

You’ll work alongside a full-time GP Partner and another full-time Salaried GP as well as a Mental Health Practitioner, Pharmacists and a Nursing team with full support of the contract-holding practice back on the South Cornish mainland.
Along with your colleagues, you will care for the circa 2,500 residents with a typical week seeing you work seven of your eight sessions based on the main island at the bespoke, architect-designed and purpose-built health centre on the clifftop overlooking the ocean. Your eighth session will rotate around the smaller islands, providing a GP service for the residents of those smaller communities during which you’ll be transferred from island to island via the practice’s own boatman!
