Description:
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.
You'll be based mainly within the East and West locality clinics across Portsmouth and Southampton, with occasional travel to other sites within the wider service. This variety offers an opportunity, developing professional relationships with health and social care colleagues to ensure seamless, holistic care for patients.
In this role you will be required to:
* Manage your own clinical caseload from referral through to discharge.
* Assess, diagnose, and treat a broad range of podiatric conditions, including patients with complex health needs such as diabetes, vascular disease, and inflammatory conditions.
* 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
