First Contact Podiatrist

Solent Podiatry Service have exciting new opportunities for highly skilled, experienced, and motivated Podiatrists to join our team as a first contact practitioner (FCPs). The role involves working as the first point of contact for foot and ankle conditions presenting to our inner Southampton city primary care network. Additionally, you will be supported to work as part of the Solent Podiatry Community team ensuring effective integrated working and continued peer support.

Our FCP model is part of our vision for foot health services, creating greater ease of access to the right person at the right time, and where possible removing inequitable barriers to specialist, personalised foot health advice and care.

Our trust shared values (HEART - honesty, everyone counts, accountable, respectable and teamwork) support the development of a strong working culture and guides and inspires all our actions and decisions. They enable us to be better at what we do and create a great place for our staff to work, whilst ensuring we provide the highest quality of care for our patients. Our last CQC rating of 'outstanding' for care and 'good' for the other domains depict these.

The Podiatry team provides services across South East Hampshire, Fareham and Gosport, West Hampshire, Portsmouth City and Southampton City. Our main sites are within the Portsmouth and Southampton City localities; at St Mary's Community Campus and Adelaide Health Centre.
