Employment opportunities

At Bethlehem Medical, we offer more than just a role — we provide the opportunity to be part of a supportive, professional team that is genuinely committed to high‑quality patient care. We pride ourselves on creating a positive, collaborative workplace where people are valued, supported, and encouraged to grow. Our practice is well‑established within the community, with a strong focus on respect, teamwork, and continuous improvement. If you are passionate about making a meaningful difference in people’s lives and want to work in an environment that values professionalism, compassion, and work‑life balance, Bethlehem Medical is a great place to build your career.

GP Position available

Join our thriving urban practice in the Western BOP and work in a friendly and relaxed environment like no other!
We have a permanent position here that can be either 6 or 8 sessions per week.

We value the patient-doctor bond and recognise our GPs are human beings with families as well. We don’t practice conveyor belt medicine and still value traditional face-to-face consultations as our heartbeat and we will give you protected time for administration on your roster every day.

We do not open at weekends or out of hours and where possible, we use a locum to manage your inbox for you when you are away on annual leave.

You would have an established patient list waiting for you and for your salary, we can offer you a percentage of your billing (that is underwritten for the first six months) to allow you to settle into your new role without any financial disadvantage.

A fantastic Collegial environment with a monthly peer group and in-house mentorship from experienced GP partners to support special interest development.

In addition to all of this, if we are able to employ you directly (rather than through a recruitment agency) we are happy to re-deploy some of those costs towards a relocation allowance or a sign-on and retention bonus.

Our benefits:

  • Guaranteed admin time on your roster
  • Locum covering your inbox when you are on annual leave
  • Sign on and retention payment, etc

Medical Receptionist

The position is primarily based in Bethlehem but the person must also be available to work at our Omokoroa Practice if necessary.

The post is for 3 or 4 days per week from approx. 8am to 5.30pm and I am afraid that due to the nature of this role, we cannot offer less hours per day.

A medical receptionist is a very specialist role that requires a great level of Patient empathy and professionalism.
You will be required to use our patient database and perform many specific tasks (all of which we will train you to do) but nevertheless, some of the additional skills you will need are:

  • Good general computer literacy
  • The ability to multi-task and work under pressure
  • Excellent telephony skills
  • Sound financial acumen

If you would like any further information please call 075764883 and ask for Julie Penwarden or if you are interested in this role (or know someone else that is) please submit your CV and a covering letter to:
