Salaried GP
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Salaried GP will provide safe, effective and compassionate primary care to registered patients, including consultations, diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, chronic disease management, preventive care and appropriate referrals. Applicants should hold full GMC registration, a licence to practise, MRCGP or equivalent, and inclusion on the NHS Performers List. A UK driving licence may be useful depending on practice requirements. The successful candidate is expected to work collaboratively with GPs, nurses, healthcare assistants, administrative staff and community services. Strong communication, sound clinical judgement, safeguarding awareness, accurate record keeping and commitment to continuing professional development are essential. The role also requires participation in practice meetings, clinical governance and quality-improvement activity.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
