Podiatry Locum and Permanent Jobs

With our extensive network of public and private healthcare clients, alongside a wide range of locum and permanent positions, we can help you find your next podiatry opportunity. Your dedicated recruitment specialist will take time to learn what is important to you. Whether you are looking for more flexibility, trying to achieve the perfect work/life balance or a move into a more permanent role, we pride ourselves on being able to find the perfect match.

Throughout Australia, podiatrists (or chiropodists) are highly sought after across a range of specialities, including surgical, sports medicine, biomechanics, geriatrics, paediatrics, diabetes and rheumatology.

As a podiatrist, you have a wealth of remarkable opportunities at your fingertips, regardless of whether you’re in the market for permanent or locum work.

We are professional recruitment consultants with an extensive network of both candidates and clinics, hospitals and other care facilities. We make it our mission to get to know who we work with, so we can find the best fit for our candidates as well as for our clients. Some of our candidates become clients and vice versa, with many having been with us since we opened in 2008.

By gathering industry insights and identifying trends, we can capture opportunities before they even come to the market. Many of our candidates actively choose to work with us exclusively, which further builds on the detailed understanding of their needs which we have gained. By having a talented pool of podiatrists who we have got to know, our clients can be confident that we aren’t simply passing on a resume, we are referring a person who we know beyond simply words on a page or a quick phone call.

• You may be required to pass an examination before a decision is made regarding the outcome of your application for registration. Or,
• You meet the qualification requirements and are eligible for general registration
