Job summary
This is an exciting opportunity to join Spinney Brook Medical Centre, a high-performing and forward-thinking practice offering a sustainable and rewarding way to work in modern general practice.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed GP to join our supportive clinical team. Applications are welcomed from both newly qualified and experienced GPs. Newly qualified GPs will be supported as they establish themselves within a friendly and approachable team.
The role offers a varied mix of general practice, supporting the health needs of our whole practice population. You will provide care for patients with acute, on-the-day problems as well as those with ongoing, complex and long-term health needs.
There will also be the opportunity to become involved in our New Models of Care work, focusing on patients with long-term conditions, frailty, complex needs, end-of-life care and those who make frequent use of secondary care services.
You will be joining a stable, well-run and collaborative practice with a strong reputation for providing high-quality care, a modern access model and a supportive multidisciplinary team.
Whether you are at the beginning of your GP career or already have experience, this is an opportunity to join a friendly team and enjoy a varied and rewarding role in general practice.
Interviews will take place during the week commencing 7 September 2026, with appointment as soon as possible.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will provide safe, effective and patient-centred general medical services as part of our multidisciplinary team.
The role will include managing a varied clinical workload and providing care for patients with acute, urgent and ongoing health needs. You will undertake face-to-face, telephone and other appropriate consultations, assessing, diagnosing and managing patients across the full range of general practice.
An important part of the role will be supporting same-day care. This will include seeing patients with acute problems and acting as the clinical triaging GP for Anima Total Triage during allocated sessions. You will review patient requests, assess clinical need and urgency, and ensure patients are directed to the most appropriate clinician or service.
Alongside acute care, there will be opportunities to support patients with long-term conditions and complex health needs through our New Models of Care work. This focuses on patients who are frail, living with complex or multiple conditions, approaching the end of life or making frequent use of secondary care.
You will work closely with GPs, nurses, pharmacists, paramedics, healthcare assistants and other professionals to provide coordinated, proactive and patient-centred care.
We welcome applications from newly qualified and experienced GPs.
About us
Spinney Brook Medical Centre is a CQC-rated Good practice providing high-quality care to our local community. We are proud of our reputation as a supportive and friendly place to work and of the strong relationships within our team.
We are a stable, well-run practice with a collaborative approach to patient care. Our team includes GPs, nurses, healthcare assistants, pharmacists, paramedics and an experienced administrative team.
As part of the East Northants Neighbourhood, we work closely with other local practices and partners across the health and care system. Our New Models of Care work is being developed through the Neighbourhood and focuses on patients with long-term conditions, frailty, complex needs, end-of-life care and those who frequently use secondary care services.
This will include multidisciplinary team meetings involving colleagues from across the Neighbourhood, alongside specialists from hospital and community services. These MDTs will support coordinated care planning for patients with complex needs and provide an opportunity to work collaboratively across organisational boundaries.
Within the practice, Anima Total Triage supports effective management of patient demand and helps ensure patients are directed to the most appropriate clinician or service.
We offer a supportive, sustainable and collaborative working environment where clinicians can enjoy the variety of general practice while being part of a team focused on delivering high-quality patient care.

Lead Pharmacist Early Intervention
Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust View all jobs
Posted 1 month(s) ago
Reference: 354-CO-21992
Job summary
We're excited to be bringing a new medicines supply service in-house later in 2026--an important step that creates fresh opportunities for innovation, skill development, and career progression across our team. This Pharmacy Hub will be situated at our Swandean site in Worthing. This change will also strengthen how we support our trainee pharmacy professionals on their career journeys. As we grow our dispensary function, all staff will play a key role in supporting the implementation and delivery of this service while we recruit into new dispensary roles, helping to shape a dynamic and collaborative working environment.
Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust are seeking to appoint an exceptional clinical pharmacist and independent prescriber to support our Early Intervention in Psychosis Services (EIPS) across Sussex. The role has been pivotal in improving medicines use within the service. The role supports clinicians and operational leads across EIP services in all aspects of medicines use, including; improving medicines use, education and training, clinical queries and support, medicines spend and running patient facing clinics and prescribing roles. The role also leads on all aspects of EIPS related prescribing, including shared care and guidance at Trust and ICS levels.
Main duties of the job
The Sussex Early Intervention in Psychosis Service (EIPS) has an integral role to play in supporting service users and their families/carers in a community setting. EIPS is founded on an extensive and compelling evidence base which has demonstrated early and sustained intervention in psychosis can contribute significantly to the amelioration of initial problems and improve long-term outcomes in a cost-effective manner. Effective early treatment can reduce the probability of the emergence of longer term 'treatment resistant' symptoms and contributes to the avoidance of the 'revolving door' syndrome of repeated relapse and as suicide is highest in the first few years of First Episode Psychosis (FEP), can reduce the risk of suicide.
The main area of work is the delivery of care and treatment to young people and adults ages 14-65 experiencing a first episode of psychosis. Help will be offered to reduce distress, maintain independence and integrity of care networks, shorten illness, prevent relapse, promote recovery/social inclusion, and minimise the impact of disabilities. Work with friends and family is seen as an integral element of the way care is delivered.
The EIPS service is an integral part of the Specialist division. The service is made up of 6 EIPS teams across Sussex, managed by a Trust-wide Early Intervention General Manager and supported by a dedicated EIPS Clinical Lead. Teams are located in Horsham, Worthing, Bognor, Brighton, Hailsham and Hastings.
About us
Sussex Partnership is one of the largest mental health trust in the UK. The physical health of our mental health patients is important to us and with the life expectancy of patients with serious mental health dying 15 to 20 years earlier, the trust is committed to reducing this risk and pharmacy play a key role in this.
About usAs a mental health trust Sussex Partnership places a huge focus on the wellbeing of our staff, as well as ensuring our reward packages reflect the immensely important work they do.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated 'Good' by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 30% lower than London and 17 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
