Job description

Highett Podiatry is growing again, and we’re looking for the right person to grow with us

With the expansion of Highett Podiatry into our newest clinic, we have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Podiatrist to step into a Site Manager and clinical leadership role.

This position would suit a podiatrist who loves clinical practice but is also ready for the next stage of their career — someone who enjoys mentoring younger practitioners, developing a team, managing a clinic and helping shape the future of a growing allied health business.

The opportunity

Working closely with our Directors and management team, you will take a leadership role within one of our clinic locations while continuing to maintain your own clinical caseload.

Your role will include:

• Providing high-quality podiatric care across your areas of clinical interest
• Leading and supporting the day‑to‑day operation of the clinic
• Mentoring podiatrists, new graduates, students and Allied Health Assistants
• Helping develop a positive, collaborative and high‑performing team
• Supporting clinical standards, systems and professional development
• Contributing ideas to the continued growth and direction of the clinic
• Working alongside an experienced management team while having genuine autonomy within your site

Who we are looking for

We are particularly interested in hearing from an experienced or senior podiatrist who enjoys working with people as much as treating patients.

You may already have management experience, or you may simply know that leadership and mentoring are where you would like your career to progress.

We are looking for someone who is:

• An experienced and confident podiatrist
• Passionate about mentoring and developing other clinicians
• A natural communicator and team leader
• Organised, proactive and comfortable taking responsibility
• Interested in contributing to the growth of a progressive private practice
• Looking for a long‑term career opportunity rather than simply their next job

What we offer

This is a senior position, and the remuneration package will reflect the experience, responsibility and value the successful applicant brings to the business.

We offer generous remuneration, strong administrative and clinical support, established systems, professional development, mentoring and the backing of a large multidisciplinary podiatry team.

Most importantly, for the right person, there is the potential for future equity/buy-in to Highett Podiatry.

We are an established practice with a long history, multiple locations, and ambitious plans for continued expansion. We would love to find someone who wants to become an important part of that journey — with the opportunity to progress from Senior Podiatrist to Site Manager, and potentially to business ownership.

Highett Podiatry is a large, established private podiatry practice providing comprehensive care across our growing network of clinics.

Our team works across general podiatry, sports and musculoskeletal care, biomechanics, orthotics, paediatrics, diabetes and high‑risk foot care, nail surgery, rehabilitation, and dance medicine.

We strongly believe in mentoring, professional development, collaboration and creating long‑term career pathways for our clinicians.

If you are an experienced podiatrist who feels ready for more responsibility, more influence and greater opportunity, we would love to hear from you.
