ABOUT US
Well Life Clinic is a modern, CQC-registered private GP practice with sites in Oxted and Cobham, Surrey. We are opening our new site in St Albans, led by senior GPs, we are dedicated to delivering accessible, high-quality care to patients who want timely appointments, extended consultations, and a more personal healthcare experience.
We provide a comprehensive range of services spanning general practice, specialist referrals, preventative health, and targeted health assessments and offer same-day appointments on Monday to Friday 08:30–18:30 and Saturday 08:30–12:30.
Our care reflects a commitment to treating every patient as an individual, not a number. Our clinical team is selected from among the most experienced GPs, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards of safety, compassion and responsiveness.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for an experienced GP to join Well Life Clinic as a sessional associate, working regular sessions at our St Albans site. The ideal candidate will be embedded in our clinical team whilst sharing in the culture and governance of a growing private practice.
This is a self-employed, hourly-paid arrangement rather than a salaried post, offering the flexibility of sessional working without the isolation of locum life. We are looking for someone who wants to genuinely be part of the team – including attending clinical meetings, contributing to service development, and building continuity with a regular patient group.
Session patterns are flexible and therefore don’t need to be identical each week, however we are looking for a consistent, ongoing commitment rather than ad hoc cover. We are particularly looking for clinicians who have availability on Tuesday, Friday and/or Saturday mornings
