Physician Associate

Run same day access clinics in a supervised primary care model with structured development.

Supervision that is real, and a scope of practice written down on day one.

Why this role exists

Same day demand is absorbing GP capacity that should sit with complex care, and the provider is building a properly supervised PA layer instead of locum cover.

What the first twelve months look like

A defined scope of practice you and your supervisor both trust, a stable same day clinic, and a development plan that is written down rather than promised.

What you'll own

  • Deliver same day and routine appointments within an agreed scope
  • Work to clear supervision and escalation arrangements
  • Support long term condition reviews
  • Contribute to significant event analysis and audit

What we need to see

  • PA National Exam passed and on the voluntary or statutory register
  • Primary care experience preferred
  • Clear about scope of practice and supervision boundaries

About the organisation

Multi site primary care group, hybrid working across two sites and remote triage.
