As a General Practitioner within Bridgwater Bay Primary Care Network, you will provide high-quality, patient-centred clinical care across a network of GP practices during the busy winter period. Working as part of experienced multidisciplinary teams, you will undertake a mix of routine and urgent consultations, supporting practices to manage increased seasonal demand while maintaining excellent standards of care.
You will assess, diagnose and manage a wide range of acute and long-term health conditions, develop appropriate treatment plans, prescribe safely, and make referrals where required. The role involves working collaboratively with practice teams, PCN colleagues and wider health and care services to ensure patients receive coordinated and effective care.
You will contribute to continuity of care by building positive relationships with patients and practice staff and adapting to different practice environments across the network. The successful postholder will support service resilience, share clinical expertise, and help practices deliver safe, responsive and accessible primary care services.
This flexible role offers the opportunity to work across several practices or spend longer periods within individual practices, ensuring a manageable and sustainable approach while making a meaningful contribution to patient care and winter service delivery across Bridgwater Bay PCN.

Help Us Strengthen Primary Care This Winter
We are looking for an enthusiastic and patient-centred GP to join our Primary Care Network (PCN) on a six-month fixed-term contract from October to March, helping us increase clinical capacity during the busy winter period.
This is a unique opportunity to work across our network of nine friendly GP practices, providing additional clinical support where it is needed most while enjoying a flexible role designed around both service need and work-life balance.
A Flexible Role Designed Around You
We recognise that one size does not fit all, so we are keen to develop a working pattern that suits the successful applicant(s). We are open to a variety of arrangements, including:
- Full-time or part-time hours.
- School-hour working or Traditional full-day sessions.
We know that working in 9 different practices may be challenging so we could have more than 1 GP sharing the role so each GP spending time in fewer practices. Or the GP spending blocks of time within individual practices to build familiarity and continuity before moving to another practice.
Our priority is to create a role that is manageable, enjoyable and sustainable.
Working alongside experienced multidisciplinary teams, you will:
- Deliver high-quality GP consultations.
- Support practices with increased winter demand a mix of routine and urgent appointments
- Build relationships with practice teams and patients.

- Have experience within Somerset
- Are adaptable and keen to experience different practice environments.
