Job Description
Why this role matters
CARED is building a new kind of primary care model: high-quality, proactive GP care delivered where people live, inside our vertical villages.
Our participants live independently in their own apartments, but many experience complex disability, chronic disease, communication challenges, and significant psychosocial comorbidity.
They often attend external GP clinics frequently.
We're bringing consistent, relationship‐based general practice into the community to strengthen continuity, reduce preventable deterioration, and support better day‐to‐day health outcomes.
This is an opportunity to practise meaningful, high‐impact medicine in a model designed for:
continuity and trust
time with complex patients
real multidisciplinary collaboration
hospital avoidance and safer transitions of care
How The Model Works
Assigned to a defined region as the consistent GP presence
Regular weekly visits to the same participant community
Approximately ***** consultations/day using a blend of:
clinic‐room sessions
targeted in‐residence reviews for higher‐risk participants
