Job overview

Multi-disciplinary working will be an important aspect of this role to ensure best outcomes for the patient. Sharing of best practice with Podiatrists and other relevant clinicians will be key to this role and will involve patients, carers and support agencies in delivery of care.
Clinics will be held over multiple sites within west Cornwall
Flexible working considered.
Main duties of the job
We deliver patient care in a variety of clinical and community settings with a caseload focusing on the medically at risk and/ or those who have a high podiatric need.
Clinical caseloads will be managed based on experience and clinical supervision will be provided in the agreed CFT Podiatry structure. You will be involved in routine and high risk clinics and have the opportunity to rotate through the Foot Protection Team and Musculoskeletal Clinics in order to support the development of your skills and interests further.
You will be joining a team of experienced podiatrists. We are committed to a high standard of care throughout the service. We offer support through regular clinical supervision, in-house CPD, countywide staff training, well being huddles and ongoing training to support the development of our staff.
Working for our organisation
We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.
We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you'll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.
Over 5,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.
We work in people's homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.
Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increases the numbers of people who use our services.
