Maternity Leave Cover GP – sessions – Air

We have a fabulous team here at Air Balloon Surgery, making it a great place to work. One of our Associate (Salaried) GPs is expecting to start maternity leave in mid-February 2027. We are looking to cover the five sessions per week, ideally from the start of the current post-holder’s maternity leave, on a temporary basis for the duration of the maternity leave which could be up to 52 weeks.

This vacancy could suit newly qualified GPs looking for their first steps in General Practice, or more established GPs looking to enhance your GP career.

We support and develop our GPs with a comprehensive induction programme, and ongoing protected monthly mentoring time.

We are a supportive, friendly, caring Practice and would be a great place to enhance your GP career. We are open to new ideas and ways of working.

We actively encourage colleagues to develop individual interests and value the importance of being inspired and enthused by our work. We hold weekly lunchtime meetings with the clinical team - an opportunity to discuss clinical cases as well as see the team socially.

Ensuring a healthy work-life balance is prominent in our decision making - we strive and continue to make adjustments to our working structure to ensure this. Your opinion and well-being matter.

We are a GP Training Practice, supporting medical students, Foundation doctors and ST trainees.

5 sessions per week, ideally covering the current post-holder’s working pattern of full days Wednesday and Thursdays, and Friday mornings.

Pay is based on an annual sessional rate of £11,755 per session per year. For a five session GP, this would equate to £58,774 gross basic pay per year, or £4,898 per calendar month. We also cover the cost of indemnity cover.
