About the Opportunity

HT Practice is seeking a motivated and adaptable Salaried General Practitioner to join its network of primary care practices in Tameside, Greater Manchester.

This role offers a unique permanent “floater” position, allowing the successful candidate to work primarily from one base practice while occasionally supporting other local surgeries when additional GP cover is needed.

The position is ideal for doctors who wish to develop a varied portfolio career, work within a supportive clinical environment, and gain experience across multiple practices without the responsibilities of practice management.

The role forms part of a collaborative group of GP surgeries including:

  • The Highlands Surgery
  • Medlock Vale Medical Practice
  • King Street Medical Centre
  • West End Medical Centre

Each practice offers a welcoming and supportive working culture focused on safe, patient-centred care and professional development.

Clinical Environment

The practices within the network support a wide range of clinical interests including:
