      Job summary

      Can you help us provide good quality primary care in a clinical role, in a stunning Cotswolds location? This could be the opportunity you have been looking for.

      A temporary position, working Thursdays and Fridays, 9am to 6pm, in the role of Advanced Clinical Practitioner/Paramedic has become available at Hilary Cottage Surgery. If you want to help people to get the primary care they need, and make a difference in general practice, come and join us at Hilary Cottage Surgery in Fairford as a member of our Clinical Team.

      Being a clinical team member at Hilary Cottage is interesting, fulfilling and challenging, all at the same time. Mostly, it is rewarding - both when you can immediately provide a solution, and when you can direct someone to the next stage in their care and support their needs.

      Your 6 month role with us as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner or Primary Care Paramedic covers a wide scope, and ultimately allows autonomy in the role, with clinical support from our Practice Team when it is required.

      Can you offer first line help and assistance to our patients who are seeking care, and put a friendly, welcoming face to our practice?

      If you can help our patients, work as part of a team, and project a positive and friendly image to patients and other visitors, this could be the challenging and exciting opportunity you have been looking for.

      About us

      We are in Fairford - a small Rural town in Gloucestershire, close to the Oxfordshire and Wiltshire borders.

      We are a friendly supportive team of around 35 people.

      Hilary Cottage Surgery has been a part of the Fairford community for many years - currently run by 3 GP partners.

      We are a small rural practice with around 7800 patients on our books. We have 7 amazing GPs, a bunch of amazing receptionists, a brilliant dispensing team supported by our super pharmacists. Our admin team are fabulous, and there aren't enough superlatives to describe our incredible nurse team.

      If you're not in Fairford, you would enjoy a short rural drive to and from the surgery - and if you are local you can walk to work.

      With a focus on everyone's well-being at work, we are supportive and friendly from top to bottom, and (we think) a great place to work!

  • About the company

      National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
