Job Description

Position Overview

HT Practice is seeking a motivated and adaptable Salaried General Practitioner to join its collaborative network of primary care practices across Ashton-under-Lyne.

This role offers the opportunity to work primarily from one base practice while occasionally supporting neighbouring practices when additional clinical cover is required. It provides an excellent pathway for GPs looking to build a diverse portfolio career while focusing primarily on patient care rather than administrative management responsibilities.

The role is particularly suited to clinicians who enjoy variety, teamwork, and contributing to high-quality primary healthcare services.

What Makes This Role Unique?

This position combines stability with flexibility. While your core work will be based at The Highlands Surgery, you may occasionally provide cover at other partner practices within the network when required.

Key benefits include:

• Competitive sessional salary structure
• Six weeks of annual leave
• Professional indemnity cover included
• No weekend or extended-hours commitments
• Flexible working sessions to support work-life balance
• Supportive environment with experienced clinicians and trainers
