Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Advanced Podiatrist will provide specialist podiatric assessment, diagnosis, treatment and management, likely focusing on complex foot conditions and high-risk patients. Requirements typically include a recognised podiatry qualification, HCPC registration, substantial post-registration experience, and evidence of advanced clinical knowledge. The successful candidate should be able to assess risk, develop and review care plans, make appropriate referrals, maintain accurate clinical records and work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams. Strong communication, decision-making, leadership and patient-education skills are expected. Experience in NHS podiatry, diabetes-related foot care, wound management, musculoskeletal practice or service development would be valuable. Candidates must demonstrate professional accountability, safeguarding awareness and a commitment to safe, equitable, person-centred care.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
