Job overview

Are you an enthusiastic and compassionate individual looking to join our Community Podiatry team? Based at Jarvis Centre Guildford, you will play a vital role in supporting our podiatrists and ensuring the smooth running of our clinics.

You will have the opportunity to develop your skills in providing high standards of podiatric clinical care under guidance and supervision. Your work will be varied, including preparing clinics, ensuring they are well-stocked, and undertaking your own clinical caseload of basic foot care in clinics, wards, and domiciliary settings (training provided). You will also be responsible for booking and rescheduling patient appointments and assisting podiatrists in procedures involving local anaesthetics.

You'll work closely with clinicians and other podiatry assistants, and we'll provide support as you take on your allocated caseload following training. This role offers a varied and changeable schedule of work and locations, and you'll be an integral part of a clinical team. 

Main duties of the job
