Contract Associate Medical Director jobs

Senior GP leadership opportunity | Long-term development pathway | Remuneration reflects experience, responsibility and impact

Are you a GP who wants more than another salaried role?

Are you clinically strong, comfortable making decisions, willing to carry responsibility and interested in becoming a significant future leader in primary care?

We are looking for an exceptional GP / Clinical Lead to join a large and ambitious primary care organisation in a senior, hands-on clinical leadership role.

This is not a desk-based leadership position.

It is a highly visible role at the heart of day-to-day clinical delivery.

You will work alongside our GPs, MDT clinicians, operational leaders and Directors, providing senior clinical oversight across Same Day Assessment, triage and incoming clinical workstreams.

You will help the organisation understand what is happening clinically today, where pressure is building, where risk sits and what needs to happen next.

You will be expected to:

· Provide visible day-to-day senior clinical leadership.

· Act as a key point of escalation for GPs and MDT clinicians.

· Oversee Same Day Assessment, triage and incoming clinical demand.

· Identify and mitigate clinical and operational risk.

· Support and supervise clinicians.

· Take a meaningful share of the clinical workload yourself.

· Step into pressure points when the service needs you.

· Work closely with the Directors and senior operational leadership.

· Improve flow, quality, patient outcomes and the effectiveness of the wider clinical team.

This is leadership with your sleeves rolled up

We are not looking for someone who wants to supervise from the sidelines.

We want someone who approaches the workload as if it were their own.

Someone who sees pressure building and responds.

Someone who identifies risk and acts.

Someone who supports colleagues, makes decisions and helps move the service forward.

This is a leadership role with a clinical workload, not a leadership role away from clinical workload.

We are looking for impact

We want someone who leaves things better than they found them.

Someone who can improve triage, reduce unnecessary hand-offs, strengthen clinical decision-making, improve workflow, support colleagues and make a measurable difference to how the organisation performs.

You will be backed by the Directors, but you will be trusted to hold significant day-to-day clinical responsibility and to provide the clinical leadership the organisation needs.

Could this be the start of something bigger?

For the right individual, absolutely.

This role forms part of our long-term leadership and succession planning.

An individual who demonstrates sustained clinical credibility, judgement, leadership, organisational commitment and delivery may have the opportunity to progress onto an Associate Clinical Director development track.

We envisage this as a long-term career pathway, with mentorship and increasing exposure to clinical leadership, governance, strategy, finance, workforce and the wider realities of leading large-scale primary care.

It is an opportunity to earn progression through impact, credibility and sustained delivery.

Who should apply?

You may already be a Clinical Lead, senior GP or GP Partner.

Equally, you may be an ambitious GP who knows you have more to offer but has not yet had the opportunity to prove it.

We welcome interest from:

· GPs already working with us who are ready for the next stage in their career.

· Experienced external GPs looking for a significant leadership challenge.

· GPs who aspire to future organisational or Director-level leadership.

· Clinicians who enjoy working close to the front line and are not afraid of responsibility.

We are looking for ambition with humility, confidence with judgement, and leadership with real ownership.

Interested?

You do not need to begin with a formal application.

For the right person, this could be the beginning of a significant long-term journey with us.

Remuneration will reflect experience, leadership capability, level of responsibility and the results and impact delivered in role.
