This Clinical Specialist Podiatrist post will take place at the community podiatry clinics within theWigan and Leigh footprint as well as regular domiciliary visits to residential homes or patients' houses. The role may require travel to all Care Community bases due to service pressures.

The role will involve clinical assessment and treatment of patients referred to the Podiatry department.
