We are proud to provide ‘Outstanding’ care and be a great place to work.

East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust provides safe, compassionate and high quality hospital and community care to the half a million people living in East Sussex and those who visit our local area.

We are one of the largest organisations in East Sussex with an annual income of £700 million and we are the only integrated provider of acute and community care in Sussex.

Our extensive health services are provided by over 8,000+ dedicated members of staff working from two acute hospitals in Hastings and Eastbourne, three community hospitals in Bexhill, Rye and Uckfield, over 100 community sites across East Sussex, and in people’s own homes.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) rated us as ‘Good’ overall, and ‘Outstanding’ for being Caring and Effective. The Conquest Hospital in Hastings and our Community Services were rated ‘Outstanding’ and Eastbourne DGH was rated ‘Good’ Our two acute hospitals have Emergency Departments and provide 24 hour a day care, offering a comprehensive range of surgical, medical, outpatient and maternity services, supported by a full range of diagnostic and therapy services.

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated Band 5 podiatrist to join our friendly podiatry team.

It is currently a fixed term post with future opportunities. Our podiatry caseload focuses on those who are medically at risk or who have a high podiatric need, consequently our patients tend to be complex with a variety of needs. We offer specialist podiatry clinics including nail surgery, biomechanics, and diabetes clinics. To enable you to undertake this role you will be encouraged to undertake rotations into specialist clinics to maintain competencies.

You should be up to date with current best practice and demonstrate our ESHT values and behaviours in their day to day role working as part of a team. We value health promotion and patient education We therefore require a podiatrist who has excellent communication and assessment skills.

We encourage team members to take part in various CPD activities including clinical supervision, protected time, in-house training during team and department meetings in addition to external training sessions.

Applications are invited from motivated BSc qualified and HCPC registered podiatrists who are keen to advance their clinical, professional and leadership skills.

This post is based in community setting but you will also work in acute settings. Due to the nature of the role it is essential that applicants are able to travel independently across the locality and have access to a suitable vehicle for business purposes.

We are committed in providing you with a rotation of experience to build upon your undergraduate theory into practice experience. You will be given a mentor and supported in your first podiatry job to insure it is a smooth and enjoyable transition into your new career. Our Trust is vertically integrated across Primary and Secondary care and is seeking to recruit Band 5 Podiatrists to our Podiatry team.

Our team is complemented…
