  Our service provides the highest quality of care to our caseload of complex patients. You will be involved in assessment and planning of individual patient care, working independently and being part of our fabulous, dedicated team, therefore we are looking for excellent diagnostic and clinical skills, plus communication and team building skills are essential.
You would be mentored by dedicated professionals who will continually support and develop your skills, to deliver and promote the best care possible to our service users. If you are a dynamic and highly motivated individual, we would love to invite you to join our team. We would aim to develop at least one of these roles into a musculoskeletal specialist podiatrist. This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and well organised individual to progress under the mentorship of a dedicated podiatry team.

We have in excess of 5000 staff working over 50 sites, providing a diverse range of services. We strive to support an organisational culture that is welcoming, builds and celebrates inclusivity and diversity and provides a sense of belonging and trust. The annual NHS Staff Surveygives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust. For the 2023 survey just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%). It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:
• 89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users;
• 73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work;
• 82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisations priority;
• 76.7% would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative
Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West. However, we know we have more to do and will continue to drive forward our commitment to making GHC a Great Place to Work.
