GP Opportunity - Out of Hours Service in Oxfordshire
We are recruiting for a GP to join our Out of Hours Service in Oxfordshire where you'll provide community-based urgent care that is both innovative and integrated. This is a varied, interesting, and rewarding role where you'll work as part of a wider team that provides urgent medical care from 6.30pm to 8.00am on weekdays and around the clock at weekends and bank holidays.
About the Role
Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust's (OHFT) Primary, Community and Dental Care Directorate comprises of several services which provide same day, acute and urgent care to patients, close to, or where possible, in their own home as a safe alternative to secondary care. One of these is the Out of Hours service (OOH) which provides urgent primary care to patients across Oxfordshire when normal primary care is closed.
You'll work as part of a multi-disciplinary team providing face to face care either in a base clinic location, at the patient’s home (home visiting) and/or remote telephone consultations from a Trust location. You'll be working at one of our base sites in Bicester, Banbury, Oxford, Witney, Abingdon or Henley (with some ability to cross cover).
Key Responsibilities
- Assess, treat and manage patients presenting to the OOH service requiring same day urgent care that cannot wait for when normal primary care is open.
- Care for patients from birth through to those patients requiring end of life care.
- Provide senior medical support and advice to non-medical practitioners working as part of the MDT in the OOH service and work in an integrated way with other same day and urgent care services provided by OHFT.
- Support and supervise trainee GPs and non-medical practitioners.
- Undertake research and clinical audit.
Reasons to use Rodeo

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Skills and Experience Required
- Skills and experience in managing patients that are acutely unwell are essential as well as recognition of illness that requires further intervention from primary care, community and social services or secondary care.
- Experience of palliative care and urinary catheterisation would also be helpful when working as a GP in the OOH service, but further learning and training can be provided.
Working Conditions
This is a substantive and on-site role for a minimum of 17 hours per week (plus CPD) and up to full time hours if supported by shift times and length of shift; flexible hours can be considered that fit within the service model. A working pattern (depending on preference of the successful candidate and availability of shifts) may include weekday evenings, weekends and/or overnight shifts.
