About the Organisation
Spectrum Community Health CIC is a not-for-profit CIC dedicated to delivering high-quality NHS-commissioned healthcare with a focus on patient-centred care. Through innovative and collaborative approaches, Spectrum aims to transform primary and community healthcare services.
About the Role
An exciting new service commission has created a unique opportunity for a passionate GP to join the Spectrum Team as the Lead GP in a secure healthcare setting.
This role is open to applicants working full-time or part-time, offering the benefits of NHS employment, including:
- NHS pension
- Time-served inducement payments
- Welcome payment for new Spectrum Community Health CIC recruits
While previous experience in a secure environment isn’t mandatory, full induction and training will be provided. The role is ideal for a GP with:
- A genuine passion for high-quality primary care
- A commitment to healthcare innovation and service transformation
- The ability to thrive as part of a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team
We offer flexible working options—part-time or tailored availability—to accommodate both your needs and the service’s requirements.
Responsibilities
As Lead GP, your role will revolve around on-site clinical care while providing strategic leadership within a multi-disciplinary primary healthcare team (MDT). Key duties include:
Core Clinical Responsibilities
- Deliver blended models of care—combining face-to-face primary care and complex case management within a collaborative environment.
- Provide clinical leadership to ensure high standards of patient care within a secure healthcare setting (e.g., prison health).
- Contribute to clinical governance and work with senior healthcare leadership to develop and maintain effective GP services on-site.
