Sessional GP's specialising in care for people with substance misuse and men and women in prison and detained settings

Spectrum CIC are looking for passionate, enthusiastic, values driven people to join our existing team of experienced GPs. We are open to people working part time or full time, face to face.

Main duties of the job

Prison healthcare

GPs play a crucial clinical leadership role in our prison primary healthcare teams. Previous experience of working in a jail, whilst desirable, is not essential as full induction and training will be provided and there is round the clock access to experienced clinical supervision for new doctors who join our teams.

Our GPs say personal and professional attributes of compassion, empathy, fairness and multidisciplinary working, alongside a desire to deliver the highest quality and innovative care are the cornerstones of a successful working model.

Line managed and supported by a Regional Lead GP, you will have access to continuing professional development in support of appraisal and revalidation through our GP forum. As a senior leader you will have access to a full induction and a range of ongoing professional support, coaching and development opportunities including Spectrum's own ILM accredited leadership and management programme.
