Join Our Podiatry Team in Fife

If you are an enthusiastic HCPC-registered Podiatrist — or soon to be one — and you’re keen to contribute to the delivery and ongoing development of a high‑quality service, we would love to hear from you.

Fife offers excellent clinical facilities and supportive, friendly teams where you can truly thrive.

We welcome applications from Podiatrists who meet the person specification, including those returning to practice after a career break. Students approaching graduation are also encouraged to apply.

Our service prides itself on strong support structures and outstanding development opportunities. Newly qualified practitioners are enrolled in the Flying Start programme and benefit from embedded clinical supervision and an allocated mentor to guide your early career.

HCPC registration is essential for this post.

This role involves delivering a comprehensive range of podiatric services, so we are looking for a self‑motivated, proactive clinician. You will manage your own clinical and domiciliary caseload, which may include nail surgery, general clinics, wound care and MSK. You will be supported to use the full breadth of your skills, knowledge, and techniques within your scope of practice.

Regular professional development and clinical support sessions are integral to the role. As a large and dynamic service, we are committed to helping our staff grow and progress, ensuring you are well‑placed to apply for permanent opportunities as they arise.

As a valued member of our department, you will join a team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about delivering excellent care.

AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application—but your answers must be your own.Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you—not an AI tool.
