Job description

Podiatrist - HMP Preston, HMP Kirkham and HMP Lancaster Farms

Are you a Podiatrist looking for a new or additional role with career development opportunities? Have you ever thought about working within a prison environment, helping to rehabilitate and support offenders to live purposeful lives as a member of the community?

Prisons are one of the most challenging yet rewarding places for healthcare professionals to work. If you are looking for a role where you can develop your existing skills and learn something new every day, then this is the place to be!

To ensure the continued quality of care, we are looking for a Podiatrist to support us and the existing teams to work 12 hours a week at HMP Preston, 8 hours a month at HMP Kirkham, and 4 hours a month at HMP Lancaster Farms. There is no on-call or weekend work to allow for a strong work-life balance!

You will be part of a forward-thinking, innovative healthcare team, including GPs, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and mental health professionals, delivering high-quality, best-practice treatment. You will also be part of the wider MSK Health in Justice Team, comprising physiotherapists and podiatrists working in 58 prisons across the country. You will be closely supported and mentored by our Team Lead Podiatrist, with an excellent supportive learning environment provided through our well-developed appraisal system, in-service training, and funding for external clinical courses.
