GP Oaklands Surgery and Yeovil Health Centre
GP Oaklands Surgery and Yeovil Health Centre at Salaried (including Newly Qualified), Employed or Consultant level.
Exceptional opportunity with this innovative primary care/general practice provider at our Surgeries in Yeovil, Somerset. 6 sessions with an attractive and comprehensive remuneration package; excellent relocation support.
Oaklands Surgery is an urban practice providing high quality healthcare services. In September 2017, it merged with Yeovil Health Centre to offer almost 11,000 registered patients from both practices. Both are Training Practices supported by health coaches, advanced nurse practitioners and workflow and medicines management hubs.
We have two railway stations making travel to London, Bristol, Exeter and Bath easy. And Bristol, Bournemouth, Southampton and Exeter International Airport links Somerset to the world.
Yeovil is an expanding town surrounded by beautiful scenery with a green oasis at its heart Ninesprings and Ham Hill country park a stones throw. Across the border into Dorset are Sherborne, Dorchester and the beautiful Jurassic coast. It is quickly becoming a popular relocation destination with competitive house prices and access to attractive neighbouring towns and villages. The town centre boasts numerous shops, restaurants, an entertainment complex, leisure facilities and theatre.
Main duties of the job
You would undertake all the clinical duties associated with a GP working in primary care, without the responsibilities and risks associated with being a partner. We can offer opportunities from salaried through to employed and consultant level GP posts depending on your experience and the level of responsibility you take on at the practice.
All GPs working for us are paid as Employees, unlike Partners, which means less risk for you and more time to focus on patient care. We put patients first, with our Employed and Consultant GPs working flexibly according to need, so contributing to areas such as QOF, QI, training and research projects providing a huge amount of variety to the role. However, our Salaried GPs have a clearly defined job plan setting out the hours of work and responsibility and tasks associated with the role.
Through annual appraisal, we encourage career development and progression and are keen to support GPs who wish to extend their role, or have specialist skills which can be utilised in primary care. We recognise that some GPs will wish to stay salaried, and some will wish to assume more responsibility once they have found their feet and aspire to Employed or Consultant roles.
About us
Symphony Healthcare Services was established in 2016 as part of the award-winning Symphony Programme Vanguard, developing new models of care. We now support 20 practices across Somerset and East Devon, providing care for 120,000 patients.

Providing NHS services is at the heart of what we do. Our vision is to ensure that primary care is sustainable for patients and practices in Somerset, and we aim to be a national exemplar for primary care provision. We work closely with our practice teams to support, develop and transform patient care and working practices with innovation and technology at the heart of what we do.
By working at scale in primary care in Somerset we can offer you the opportunity to develop specialist skills with the support of a larger organisation to develop your GP career.
Key benefits:
- Flexible roles and working options
- A Mentorship Scheme for newly qualified GPs who will be supported by a GP Trainer
