Podiatrist - Wolverhampton

Are you a Podiatrist looking for additional hours to fit in with your current circumstances?  Have you ever thought about working within a prison environment, helping to rehabilitate and support offenders to live purposeful lives as a member of the community?

Prisons are one of the most challenging, yet rewarding places for healthcare professionals to work. If you are looking for a role where you can develop your existing skills and learn something new every day in an environment that never stands still, then this is it!

Practice Plus Group were recently awarded the healthcare contracts at 3 prisons in Featherstone, Wolverhampton and to ensure the continued quality of care we are looking for a Podiatrist to support us and the existing teams to work 11.5 sessions per month (46 hours a month; approx. 11 hours per week). There is no on-call or weekend work to allow for a strong work life balance!  

You will be part of a forward thinking, innovative health care team, including GPs, nurses, pharmacists and mental health professionals, delivering high quality, best practice treatment. You will be closely supported and mentored by our Clinical Lead, and this combined with our well-developed appraisal system, in-service training and funding for external clinical courses, you will be provided with an excellent supportive learning environment.
