We are currently looking to recruit 2 Podiatrists to join the CPFT Podiatry Service working in the community in Cambridgeshire. The successful applicants will work primarily in their locality podiatry team but will be required to support the service across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough when needed. We operate out of key sites in Oak Tree Centre, Doddington Community Hospital, Princess of Wales Hospital, North Cambs Hospital, Chesterton Medical Centre, and City Care Centre.
We are open to Podiatrists from various professional backgrounds including newly qualified staff and staff looking to join the NHS from private practice. We have developed a comprehensive preceptorship program for newly qualified Podiatrists and a structured competency framework for more experienced Podiatrists to ensure those joining the team experience a structured, supportive onboarding experience.
There is scope for the positions to be full or part-time alongside potential for compressed hours (e.g., full-time hours over 4 day weeks or 9 day fortnights). Access to a vehicle and a full UK driving license is a mandatory requirement of this role to ensure adequate cover for agile, community working.
The post-holder will be competent across all core areas of Podiatry and have a strong team work ethic and sense of accountability. The successful candidate will work within the Podiatry team to support our core cohort of patients, with scope for specialist practice depending on the individual's skillset.
We are keen to support and develop our staff through a clear career pathway and encourage promotional opportunities within the Trust. Within the service, there is ample opportunity for professional growth and development across the variety of specialisms we offer; from diabetic and high-risk foot management, in both the community and acute settings, to assisting in our community-run Podiatric Surgery unit. There are also opportunities to specialise within our MSK or Nail Surgery teams. Additionally, there are opportunities to develop line management and mentoring skills through supporting Podiatry students, our apprentice Podiatrists, and Footcare Assistants.
If you are looking for a new challenge, enjoy variety in your work, and wish to be part of a team striving to make a difference for our community, then we want to hear from you.
