Exciting Career Opportunity: Podiatrist – Regional Health Services
We are seeking a skilled Podiatrist to join our multi-disciplinary team and provide a comprehensive range of health services tailored to the needs of rural and remote communities. In this role, you will work collaboratively with health professionals and service providers from other sectors, applying preventative, early intervention, treatment, and evaluation approaches, including individual therapy, group programs, health promotion, and community development initiatives.
Depending on classification (AHP1 or AHP2), you will work under clinical supervision or reduced direction, with opportunities to contribute to the supervision of less experienced allied health professionals, assistants, and students. You will provide a regional service across multiple communities - including Port Lincoln, Elliston, Streaky Bay, Ceduna, Wudinna, Cleve, Cowell, Kimba, Tumby Bay, Cummins or Coober Pedy - on a regular and rostered schedule.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful impact on community health while developing your professional expertise in a supportive, team-focused environment.
What We're Looking For:
* Must hold a recognised qualification within the relevant allied health profession, and be eligible for full membership of the relevant Professional Association (Podiatry Board of Australia).
* For those disciplines requiring Registration, all requirements to maintain current registration must be fulfilled. For self-regulated professions it is desirable to participate in the professional associations' accredited continuous professional development program
