Job Description

A Role That Truly Makes a Difference

This is an opportunity to practise deeply meaningful medicine in a place where community, compassion, and continuity of care really matter.

Minehead Medical Centre is looking for a General Practitioner with a special interest in palliative and end-of-life care to join our values-led team. This role blends high-quality general practice with a clinical leadership focus in palliative care — supporting patients and families at some of the most important moments of their lives.

If you’re ready to slow the pace, reconnect with why you became a GP, and work in a supportive environment surrounded by nature, this could be the role for you.

Your Role in the Community

You will provide holistic, patient-centred care for people living with advanced progressive illness and those approaching the end of life, across both practice and community settings.

As the Palliative Care Clinical Lead, you will:

• Deliver generalist GP care alongside specialist palliative input
• Lead anticipatory and advance care planning, including DNACPR discussions
• Support symptom control, medication optimisation, and dignity-focused care
• Work closely with community nursing teams, hospices, specialist palliative care services, social care, and secondary care colleagues
• Help reduce avoidable hospital admissions through proactive, coordinated care
• Support colleagues through education, advice, and shared learning
• Contribute to service development, quality improvement, and PCN-level working

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Are a GMC-registered GP on the GP Specialty Register with inclusion on the NHS Performers List
• Have post-CCT experience in primary care or urgent care
• Can evidence postgraduate training or experience in palliative care
  (e.g. Diploma in Palliative Medicine, RCGP End of Life Care modules)
• Have experience supporting patients with complex, advanced illness
• Work confidently across multidisciplinary and cross-sector teams
• Are organised, proactive, and comfortable balancing clinical and leadership responsibilities
• Bring empathy, professionalism, and a genuine passion for person-centred care

What You’ll Enjoy with Us

• 15-minute appointments that allow time for meaningful conversations
• A portfolio-style role, with flexibility to shape your clinical interests
• The opportunity to influence and develop a vital local service
• A lively, engaged Patient Participation Group
• A warm, supportive team culture that values collaboration and kindness
• Relocation support for eligible candidates
• Skilled Worker visa sponsorship for eligible applicants already resident in the UK

Our Benefits Package

• NHS Pension with 20.6% employer contribution
• 30 days’ annual leave + bank holidays (pro rata)
• Indemnity cover for contracted hours
• Extra annual leave awarded for service milestones
• Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption pay
• 10% of working time protected for CPD
• 5 days’ study leave per year (pro rata)
• Eye care scheme and cycle-to-work scheme
• Refer-a-friend bonus scheme
