GP Partner / Salaried GP – Scottish Borders

An excellent opportunity has arisen to join our friendly, well-supported practice in Melrose and Newtown St Boswells, following a planned partner retirement in April 2027.

We are a cohesive team serving 7,000 patients, with 4 GP partners, 5 ANPs, a Practice Nurse and experienced admin support. We prioritise continuity of care and a sustainable workload, with ANPs delivering most acute care and the PN leading chronic disease management.

The role

2–8 sessions (Partner / Salaried / Long-term Locum)
25 × 15-minute appointments (routine days)
Low home visiting
No out-of-hours (optional locally)

We work within a strong MDT (district nurses, health visitors, physiotherapy, pharmacy, and CTAC) and have excellent links with Borders General Hospital (10 minutes away). We are also an active training practice (ANPs and due to start hosting FY2s soon).

What we offer

Excellent work–life balance
Competitive pay and generous leave
Opportunity to develop specialist interests within the practice or locally if desired

Why the Borders?

Melrose (named in 'The Times' as one of the top places to live in the UK in 2026) offers high-quality rural living with easy access to Edinburgh (~1 hour)—great schools, strong community, and outstanding surroundings including the Eildon Hills and River Tweed.
