EXPERIENCED PODIATRIST REQUIRED
We are a leading Hobart Podiatry practice with a beautifully renovated, stand alone practice incorporating an onsite footwear store, spacious, light consulting rooms, and a warm and friendly team of staff.
We like to focus on a comprehensive, whole person, approach to patient care. To help facilitate this, we offer extended consults (30-60 minutes) to allow clinicians to assess and provide effective and lasting solutions for their patients.
Due to demand, we have an upcoming opportunity for an experienced Podiatrist to join our team. We are looking for an experienced Podiatrist with great communication skills, a friendly but professional approach and a desire to practice to high standards to achieve the best outcomes for clients. Initially this role is part time, however opportunities are available to grow to a full time role. The commencement date is flexible, starting from October 2024.

We are looking for a practitioner, with a warm, friendly but professional approach, with demonstrated experience in all aspects of Podiatry, especially msk/biomechanics/orthotics, to help manage a varied caseload of adult and paediatric clients. An interest and or experience and knowledge of footwear assessments & fitting is an advantage and further training can be offered to grow your knowledge in this field. Ideally, you will have 3+ years experience in private practice.
Whilst your caseload will span the full range of Podiatry, with higher than average musculo-skeletal referrals, opportunities are available for clinicians to focus and grow their caseload in their particular interest areas.

Classification is permanent part time, with a salary of $95-$115,000.00 (pro rata), PLUS super, PLUS bonus structures available, PLUS relocation funding or education allowance provided.

Parking is provided for staff, along with great coffee!
Our referral base is strong, creating an interesting and rewarding caseload and includes word of mouth referrals, GP’s, orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists, paediatricians, physiotherapy and exercise physiology colleagues. You definitely won’t be cutting toenails all day in this role, but using all your skills and training to really help people stay comfortable and active!
We use 3D scanning for external orthotic labs to manufacture custom orthoses, plus we have an onsite orthotic lab to enable manufacture of simple devices/insoles, on the spot customisation of medical grade moulded orthotics and modifications to custom devices. We also stock a broad range of appliances such as orthoses, ankle braces, moon boots, and consumables, so everything you need for your patients is on hand.

Our staff are trained in fitting and also assisting you in fitting your clients in the right shoes where needed as part of your treatment plan if required.
THE LIFESTYLE
Our staff love their jobs and this creates a positive atmosphere for our clients. We have a history of very low staff turnover, a testament to our culture. We work as a team and support each other. Where possible, work days and hours can be flexible, to help you manage family and lifestyle.
Mentoring and support from our senior clinicians is available with a practice culture focused on importance and enjoyment of ongoing professional learning and implementing that knowledge into practice.
Podiatrists who are ready for a career and lifestyle change are strongly encouraged to apply. Hobart, Tasmania is a vibrant, small-but-growing waterfront city with a mild climate, four distinct seasons, fresh air and minimal traffic issues. We have easy access to mountains, forests, beaches, wineries, festivals and great food and restaurants. A short, 1 hour flight to Melbourne is an easy hop for those “big city” weekends, to shop or go to a concert, then you’ll gladly fly home to the clean air and easy, low stress lifestyle of Tasmania. If rural living is your dream, acreage properties start within a 15-20 minute drive from work!
If this sounds like you, or you’d like to know more, please contact Principal Podiatrist Fleur Fewster for a confidential discussion on 61 3 62231011 or forward your enquiries or CV in confidence to: [email protected]
