An exciting opportunity to train as a Podiatrist in the NHS!
Hounslow Community Healthcare has partnered with the University of East London (UEL) to deliver this exciting four-year apprenticeship programme.
This post will be based in the community within the London Borough of Hounslow.
This Podiatry Apprenticeship is designed to give talented people an opportunity to gain a nationally recognised qualification whilst completing on-the-job training with our highly skilled clinicians. This is a developmental role over four years where you will work towards successful completion of a BSc Degree in Podiatry and be able to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

You will progressively learn to assess, diagnose, and manage a diverse caseload of patients with foot and lower limb conditions, adhering to clinical protocols and developing individualised care plans. This includes providing treatments, delivering patient education, maintaining accurate records, and contributing to audit and service improvement initiatives, all under the guidance of experienced podiatrists and mentors.
To be considered for this post applicants will need to demonstrate a minimum of one year's experience within a clinical healthcare setting.
