Swansea General Practice has capacity for an additional part-time or full-time permanent doctor (up to four days per week plus participation in the after hours and on-call roster). This could be the one person, or a job-sharing couple like the current doctors. The practice is open five days per week, plus there are clinics on weekends, and the incoming doctor (or doctors) would be expected to join the on-call roster at the co-located health centre.

The general practice is located at the May Shaw Health Centre, which also houses aged residential and a range of community health and visiting services, and offers 24/7 A&E services and 5 acute beds.

All after hours weeknight calls (which are not onerous) are covered by the Swansea doctors, with all calls going direct to May Shaw Nursing Home to be triaged by the nursing staff. The weekend on-call is shared between the doctors from Swansea, plus occasionally doctors from the neighbouring town of Bicheno and locums.

Requirements:

• General or specialist registration with AHPRA
• Current emergency medicine certificate
• Recent emergency experience
• Ability to work independently
