We are seeking an additional part-time Medical Director/LMC Medical Secretary as soon as possible to join our team based in Taunton. Ideally for 20 hours over an average of two to three days a week but this could be adjusted for the right candidate. The days worked may vary in accordance with meeting schedules and other commitments. A flexible approach to the working week will therefore be necessary.
This is an interesting and challenging role: you will need to be a registered Medical Practitioner with at least 10 years’ experience in General Practice and to have a working knowledge of the regulatory landscape of primary care including the GMS contract and Statement of Financial Entitlements. It would be helpful to have some familiarity with NHS management structures.
The role is wide ranging and includes guiding the LMC in regulatory, legal, complaints and other contractual matters and representing the Committee and wider general practice to NHS and other organisations. The Medical Director also acts as a source of advice on a wide range of issues to GPs seeking personal and professional help, including pastoral matters.
We offer a competitive salary plus 14% top up giving you freedom to choose your own pension arrangements.
