The Leith Hill Practice is a friendly, forward-thinking GP practice providing high-quality care to our local community. We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and organised GP Assistant to join our supportive multidisciplinary team on a permanent basis.
This is a varied role combining hands-on clinical duties with administrative responsibilities, making it ideal for someone who enjoys direct patient care while supporting the smooth running of a busy General Practice. It would particularly suit someone looking to broaden their skills, whether you're currently working in an administrative role and keen to gain clinical experience, or have a clinical background and would like to develop your administrative expertise.
Working closely with our GPs, Nurses and wider practice team, you will become an integral part of the practice, delivering patient care in both the consulting room and behind the scenes. We are committed to developing our staff and will provide ongoing training and opportunities to expand your skills within General Practice.
We operate across two sites:
- The Old Forge Surgery, 168 The Street, Capel, RH5 5EN
- Northbrook Surgery, Warwick Road, South Holmwood, RH5 4NP
Due to limited public transport links, access to your own transport is essential.
