Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust Podiatry Service have an exciting opportunity for a podiatry apprentice to join our innovative and supportive podiatry team.
The Podiatry Apprenticeship programme is a fully funded route towards qualification as a HCPC registered Podiatrist.
Podiatrists are registered healthcare professionals specialising in the lower limb (feet, ankles, legs), providing high quality clinical care to people of all ages. A Podiatrist's job is to work to protect people's feet, providing preventative advice, care, assessment, diagnosis and treatment of a range of problems affecting the lower limb.
A word from one of our current apprentice Podiatrist when asked about the experience so far:
'I came to CPFT with long-standing personal and professional healthcare experience, seeking a new challenge. It has come as a nice surprise to be challenged daily by the broad spectrum of job roles within podiatry. So far, I have come across diabetes, tissue viability, musculoskeletal input, the various reasons orthotics might be used - and how to make them. It's certainly not boring! The team, to a person are all amazing - friendly and helpful.'
The apprenticeship is ideal for applicants who wish to start a career in healthcare, existing healthcare professionals looking to find a new profession or looking to develop into a registered professional role.
