An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Podiatrist with a passion for musculoskeletal and sports Podiatry within our practice in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. The role requires an enthusiastic and experienced Podiatrist on a part-time, self-employed fee-share basis with a strong interest and experience in musculoskeletal (MSK) Podiatry including sports, paediatrics and seniors, who enjoys providing high-quality, evidence-based assessment and treatment.

The position would be particularly well-suited to someone who is already working within MSK Podiatry or Sports & Exercise Medicine within either the NHS or independent sectors and is looking to complement their existing work with additional private practice or a clinician who requires flexibility to work around caring and family or study commitments.

The Role

You will assess and manage patients presenting with a broad range of lower limb musculoskeletal and sports-related conditions. You will have the opportunity to work autonomously while being part of a collaborative clinical environment.

The role includes assessment and management of:

• Foot and ankle pain
• Running and sports-related injuries
• Tendinopathies and overuse injuries
• Plantar heel pain
• Achilles and calf problems
• Forefoot and lower-limb conditions
• Biomechanical and gait-related issues
• Exercise-related musculoskeletal conditions
• Orthotic assessment and prescription where appropriate

About you

We are looking for a Podiatrist who:

• Is HCPC registered and appropriately qualified
• Has experience in MSK Podiatry
• Has a particular interest in sports, exercise and lower-limb musculoskeletal conditions
• Is confident undertaking clinical assessment, diagnosis and management and can work independently without further training in this area
• Takes an evidence-based and patient-centred approach
• Is enthusiastic about problem-solving both in terms of patient care but also to contribute positively to the future growth of the clinic
• Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Is committed to continuing professional development

• Experience within Sports & Exercise Medicine, MSK practice or multidisciplinary clinics would be particularly valuable

What we offer

• Part-time, flexible working
• Self-employed position on a fee-share basis
• Opportunity to be more closely involved in the running and future of the practice or even be the future of the practice
• Excellent opportunity to complement an existing role or work around other commitments
• Supportive and collaborative clinical environment
• Autonomy over clinical decision-making
• Opportunity to work alongside other MSK and healthcare professionals as part of the wider team
• Scope to develop your specialist interests within MSK and sports Podiatry and beyond

We are particularly interested in hearing from clinicians who are passionate about MSK Podiatry and helping patients return to activity, exercise and sport in all age groups. If you are an experienced MSK Podiatrist looking for a flexible private practice opportunity that can fit around your existing commitments, we would love to hear from you.
