Job description

We would like to offer an opportunity for a highly motivated and enthusiastic podiatrist to join our multidisciplinary diabetic foot team based at the Norfolk & Norwich University NHS Foundation Trust. There is the possibility of there being more hours available on fixed term basis and this can be discussed at interview.

This is a really exciting opportunity to join a well-established multidisciplinary diabetic foot team which is one of the largest in the East of England and we see over 700 new patients and 6500 follow-ups per year, all of whom have complex foot disease.

What We Can Offer

You will join a team of seven podiatrists. We can offer real variety in different sub‑specialty working alongside consultants’ colleagues in diabetes, microbiology, renal, vascular, plastics, and orthopaedic surgery in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

However, being based in one of the UK’s leading research hospital the role of a podiatrist can become so much more. We are actively involved in several large multicentre research projects and publish widely on many aspects of diabetic foot disease. This would give the successful applicant the opportunity to participate in the ongoing research and contribute to the department’s ongoing research strategy.

As Post Holder You Will

• Work as a member of the diabetic foot team in both inpatient and outpatients treating people with acute diabetic foot complications.
• Experience dedicated medical and surgical clinics and ward rounds.
• Be supported to develop skills in the management of infection, specialist debridement and off‑loading.
