Senior Podiatrist - BANK only

As an autonomous practitioner, you will provide specialist podiatric assessment, diagnosis, treatment and management for patients with a wide range of foot health needs. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams across inpatient and community settings, supporting the delivery of holistic care that recognises the relationship between physical and mental health.

Providing specialist podiatry assessment, treatment and management.

Undertaking biomechanical and gait assessments where appropriate.

Experience working within mental health services is welcome but not essential. We encourage applications from podiatrists working in community, acute, diabetes, musculoskeletal or independent practice settings who are interested in developing their skills within a mental health and learning disability environment.

This bank opportunity offers the chance to be part of a Trust-wide commitment to improving physical health and wellbeing. You will join a supportive team that recognises the importance of physical health in recovery and quality of life, while enjoying the flexibility that bank working provides.

If you are looking for a role where you can use your specialist skills to make a real difference, we would love to hear from you.
