Band 6 Podiatrist Opportunity
Are you a passionate and motivated podiatrist looking for a rewarding career? An exciting opportunity has arisen for two permanent Band 6 Podiatrists to join the Manchester Local Care Organisation's Community Podiatry team in Central Manchester.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Holistic Patient Care: Manage complex patients with foot ulcers through comprehensive musculoskeletal and vascular assessments.
- Diverse Clinical Experience: Engage in nail surgery, core podiatry, and musculoskeletal clinics.
- Integrated Services: Collaborate with the hospital diabetes team, supporting outpatient clinics and ward rounds weekly.
What We Offer
- Varied Work Settings: Deliver care in community clinics, outpatient clinics, wards, and patients' homes. A car owner/driver is essential.
- Professional Development: Contribute to audits, service improvement, and research projects. Mentor less experienced colleagues.
- Supported CPD: Engage in continuous professional development with access to training and educational opportunities.
Join a progressive team dedicated to improving patient outcomes and advancing podiatric care. This is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to make a real difference in the community.
We encourage applicants to contact the podiatry manager for informal discussions about this inspiring role. Take the next step in your career with us and be part of something truly special!
Key Responsibilities
- Versatile Work Settings: Provide care across acute settings, community clinics, residential and nursing homes, day centres, and patients' homes.
- Patient Treatment Management: Actively manage treatment programmes in line with care planning and discharge guidelines.
- Collaborative Decision-Making: Use the decision-making processes to identify when patients need referrals to other professionals or specialist areas, following agreed pathways.
- Nail Surgery: Perform nail surgery (undertaking procedures under supervision if not already proficient).
- Specialist Rotations: Participate in rotations in areas such as nail surgery, diabetes, patho-mechanics, and vascular care.
- Orthoses Provision: Arrange for orthoses, pressure-relieving insoles, and shoe inserts as needed.
- Workload Planning: Plan and manage your daily workload for wards, clinics, home visits, and visits to residential and nursing homes.
- Flexibility: Provide cover for other podiatrists at short notice or during absences, covering sites across North Manchester.
- Administrative Duties: Complete all necessary administrative tasks associated with the role.
- Additional Duties: Perform any other duties as required by the department.
- Compliance: Adhere to all Trust policies, guidelines, and procedures.
