About Salaried GP Roles
What Is a Salaried GP Position?
A salaried GP is an employed doctor working within a GP practice or PCN on a fixed contract — typically 4–10 sessions per week. Unlike a GP Partner, a salaried GP does not hold equity in the practice or carry personal financial liability for its performance.
Salaried GP positions offer stability, an NHS pension, paid leave, and a defined workload — making them increasingly popular among GPs who want the benefits of a permanent role without the administrative and financial responsibilities of partnership.
- NHS pension & employer contributions included
- Paid annual, sick, and maternity leave
- Defined sessions — typically 4–10 per week
- No practice liability or equity risk
- Full-time and part-time options available
- ARRS-eligible salaried roles also available via PCN

Apply What to Expect
What's Typically Included in a Salaried GP Package
Most salaried GP roles in NHS primary care include a standard benefits package. Here's what you can typically expect.
NHS Pension
Employer contributions to the NHS Pension Scheme — one of the most valuable defined benefit schemes available in the UK.
Paid Annual Leave
Typically 6 weeks' paid annual leave per year, plus bank holidays — pro-rated for part-time positions.
Sick Pay
NHS sick pay entitlement, increasing with years of service — significantly better than self-employed locum arrangements.
Study Leave & CPD
Most practices provide paid study leave and CPD funding — enabling you to maintain appraisal and revalidation requirements.
Maternity / Paternity Leave
NHS maternity and paternity pay entitlement — unavailable to locum and self-employed GPs.
Indemnity Cover
Many practices contribute to or fully cover professional indemnity costs for salaried GPs — confirm at interview stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Salaried GP Jobs — Common Questions
Answers to the questions GPs most often ask about salaried roles in primary care.
What is the typical salary for a salaried GP in the UK?
Salaried GP salaries typically range from £68,000 to £115,000 depending on sessions per week, location, and experience level. London and South East practices generally pay above the national average. Part-time roles are paid pro-rata to the equivalent full-time salary.
What's the difference between a salaried GP and a GP Partner?
A salaried GP is employed by the practice on a fixed salary with no equity stake. A GP Partner holds a share of the practice, shares in profits (and losses), and carries personal financial and legal liability. Salaried roles offer stability and a defined workload without the administrative burden of partnership.
Do salaried GPs get the NHS pension?
Yes — salaried GPs working in NHS GP surgeries are entitled to join the NHS Pension Scheme, with employer contributions included. This is one of the most significant financial advantages of salaried over locum work, given the value of the defined benefit pension.
Can I work part-time as a salaried GP?
Yes — the majority of our salaried GP vacancies offer part-time options, typically 4–6 sessions per week. Salary is calculated pro-rata. Many practices actively prefer part-time GPs as it offers workforce flexibility. We will only match you to roles that fit your preferred session count.
How long does it take to find a salaried GP role through SHR?
Our average time from registration to offer acceptance is 14–21 days. This includes compliance verification, shortlisting, interview coordination, and offer negotiation. For urgent vacancies, practices occasionally move faster — we have placed GPs within a week when both parties are motivated to move quickly.
Will SHR Group help me negotiate my salary?
Yes — salary negotiation is a standard part of our service. We benchmark salaries across the region, know what comparable practices are paying, and negotiate on your behalf throughout the offer stage. Most GPs who use our negotiation support achieve better packages than they would have secured independently.
What Salaried GPs Say

SHR found me a part-time salaried GP role in South Manchester exactly as I described — four sessions, no weekends, close to home. The whole process took ten days from registration to offer.
SHR Group has always answered my requirements. The relationship developed over the last 6 months has been excellent — they genuinely matched me to a role I'm happy in rather than just filling a vacancy.
