Diabetes Foot Protection Service
Are you a qualified podiatrist looking for an exciting new role? We are recruiting Band 5 podiatrists with an interest in diabetic foot protection. We seek clinical staff passionate about the care they give to patients and who want to make a real difference in diabetic foot care.
At NELFT we have secured significant and long‑term transformation funding and are undertaking an ambitious programme of co-design with our partners in the Integrated Care Board (ICB), primary care networks (PCN) and secondary care. Our aim is to improve and enhance service delivery to meet the challenges that face our diabetic population in Barking, Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge through integration and collaboration. We want to improve patient outcomes to help residents reduce the risk of developing active or life‑threatening diabetic foot problems.
In return we offer dedicated, personalised training and development in your chosen speciality, flexible working with a blended approach to new ways of working, rotational opportunities and a chance to be part of something great that will shape these services for years to come.
Please do not re‑apply if you have applied and been unsuccessful within the past 6 months.
