Diabetes Ireland is seeking podiatrists (full-time and/or part-time) and invites applications from suitably qualified podiatrists for its diabetes footcare services in Santry, Dublin and Mary Street, Cork City.
As a Podiatrist, you will have the vision and drive to provide optimal diagnoses, treatment, or referral pathways in order to improve outcomes for patients who are at risk of or have developed foot complications. As part of our team, you will be responsible for the commencement, development and continued provision of a quality, responsive and effective podiatry service to prevent deterioration in foot health.
Postholders will support the coordination of the day-to-day running of the service, manage a varied case load of patients, ensure adequate clinical records and statistical information are maintained, have instrument decontamination and sterilisation responsibilities and be responsible for recording and updating notes following assessment and treatment of patients.
Many of our clients have diabetes and have or are at risk of Diabetic Foot Disease. Many are also from other care groups, such as Vascular, Rheumatology, and Neurological, who also require footcare management. Through regular assessment and treatment, our aim is to reduce their risk of developing serious foot complications, thereby reducing the need for hospital admissions.
This post offers a good opportunity for a motivated podiatrist to further develop skills in diabetic foot care and management. The postholder will have the support of Ireland’s National Diabetes Charity and opportunities for continued professional development. These posts are open to candidates who will obtain a BSC in Podiatry in 2026.
