    We are looking for an enthusiastic, highly motivated, forward thinking Podiatrist with a minimum of 2 years NHS experience, who is keen to develop their clinical skills within a friendly, supportive and innovative environment.
  • The post-holder will be required provide a range of high quality podiatric interventions in a variety of community clinics, GP practices, and also in nursing homes & domiciliary settings throughout the Wirral peninsula, Merseyside & Cheshire.
