To provide high quality support to others in the team and work within wider multidisciplinary teams for the benefit of patients.
You will be joining a highly motivated and friendly professional team.

The department offers a band 5 competency programme to develop the podiatry role. This is a full-time position, but candidates who want to work 3 days or more will also be considered.

We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed. We also care for people in their homes and provide services from facilities in local communities such as health centres. We give people greater choice and control over their care to help them live independently at home and avoid hospital admission where appropriate. High quality patient care is at the heart of everything we do and we strive to ensure every single patient and service user has an exceptional experience with us. We have one of the most extensive patient experience programmes of any trust in England.
