Job Introduction

We are looking for a dedicated and professional Band 5 Community Podiatrist to join our supportive team, providing specialist care across five clinic locations in Farnham, Surrey, North East Hampshire, and Surrey Heath, as well as in patients’ homes .

This role offers rotations through MSK and nail surgery, allowing you to develop specialist skills while working within a multidisciplinary team that includes vascular, orthopaedics, and community nursing. We prioritise professional growth with two dedicated training days per year, along with statutory and mandatory training to keep your knowledge up to date. Regular team meetings ensure strong collaboration and support .

This is a full-time role (Monday – Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM).

Main Responsibilities

In this role, you'll play a vital part in managing wound and ulcer care for patients with complex systemic conditions, including diabetes, vascular disease, and systemic inflammatory disorders, as well as those with multiple comorbidities. You'll also take the lead in new patient clinics, nail surgery assessment clinics, high-risk foot clinics, and basic MSK assessments .

As part of a collaborative and supportive team, you'll have the chance to develop strong professional links across key care pathways, including multidisciplinary teams, vascular specialists, orthopaedics, and community nursing .

Clear and effective communication is key in this role. You'll need to convey information in an understandable way to patients, ensuring they feel informed and involved in their treatment .

The Ideal Candidate

You will have or soon have a professional degree of equivalent in Podiatry and current professional registration with the HCPC as a Podiatrist, alongside being qualified to administer local Anesthesia.
