Why might this job interest you?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and compassionate Band 5 Podiatrist to join a supportive podiatry service on a 6-month temporary role. This is a part-time role, with a minimum requirement of 7.5 hours per week, offering flexibility alongside the opportunity to deliver high-quality podiatric care. Whether you are a newly qualified podiatrist or working in a private practice, this is an excellent opportunity to work within a well-established multidisciplinary team committed to delivering high-quality patient-centred care.

As a Podiatrist, you will provide assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management of a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, helping patients improve mobility, reduce pain, maintain tissue viability, and enhance their quality of life.

• Deliver evidence-based treatments including wound care, ulcer management, nail surgery, local analgesia, neurological and vascular assessments, and pressure redistribution therapies.
• Provide high-quality foot health services within both commissioned NHS pathways and fee-paying clinics.
• Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, carers, families, and other healthcare professionals.
• Maintain accurate electronic patient records and contribute to service development and quality improvement initiatives.
• Promote health and wellbeing through patient education and public health interventions.
• Contribute to training, mentoring, and the development of colleagues and students where appropriate.
