About Us
Cranbrook Medical Practice is a friendly, forward-thinking GP practice serving the rapidly growing new town of Cranbrook in East Devon. This is an exciting opportunity to join a practice at a pivotal stage in its development, with significant opportunities to shape services and grow alongside our expanding patient population.
We currently care for just over 6,500 patients, with our list continuing to grow as Cranbrook develops. Our patient demographic is predominantly younger, with many young families and working-age adults choosing to make Cranbrook their home. This provides a rewarding and varied workload, with a strong emphasis on preventative healthcare, women's health, childhood immunisations, health promotion and the early identification and management of long-term conditions.
As our practice continues to expand, there are excellent opportunities for professional development, service innovation and the chance to develop specialist clinical interests within primary care.
Our multidisciplinary team includes experienced GPs, an Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Practice Nurses, Clinical Pharmacists, a First Contact Physiotherapist and a dedicated administrative team, all working collaboratively to deliver high-quality, patient-centred care. We pride ourselves on being a supportive, approachable team where everyone is valued and encouraged to contribute to the ongoing development of the practice.
We are committed to supporting the professional development of our staff through training, mentorship and opportunities to broaden clinical skills. Whether you are an experienced Practice Nurse or looking to further develop your career in primary care, Cranbrook Medical Practice offers an environment where you can make a real difference while growing professionally.
If you are looking to join an ambitious, welcoming practice where you can influence the future of patient care and develop your career as our community grows, we would love to hear from you.
