Salaried GP / Longterm Locum Opportunity – Douglasdale Medical Practice

Location: Douglas, Rigside & Coalburn

Contract: Salaried GP or Longterm Locum (with potential view to Partnership)

Douglasdale Medical Practice is a friendly, welcoming, and unique rural training practice working across three sites: Douglas, Rigside and Coalburn. Our setting offers a varied patient population, a supportive team, and the chance to work within rural countryside.

We value work–life balance, encourage lunchtime exercise, and foster a culture where wellbeing and community matter.

We’re looking for a committed and compassionate GP to join our team for 6 sessions per week. The role includes:

* Working across our three practice sites

* An equal share of medical cover at Lady Home Community Hospital

* Delivering high‑quality, patient‑centred care

* Contributing to our training environment and wider practice development

This post is offered initially as a Salaried GP position, but we’re very open to discussion and there is a potential view to a Longterm Locum or Partnership for the right candidate.

What We Value

* A genuine commitment to rural general practice

* Strong teamwork and communication

* Compassionate, community‑focused care

* A desire to contribute to a supportive, positive working culture
