Podiatrist

Your opportunity

As a Podiatrist based in Roma, you work within the multidisciplinary team to provide optimal, responsive, and flexible podiatry clinical services in acute, sub-acute, aged care, community, and outreach facility settings, operating with independence and infrequent need for clinical practice supervision, decreasing as skills increase.

Staff may be required to work across other clinical services and facilities within the SWHHS as required to assist in meeting patient care needs, managing leave cover, and succession planning of staff.  

We encourage applications from early career professionals including candidates who are nearing the completion of their allied health qualification. Applicants will be considered based on their completed course outcomes and anticipated completion of their degree, with the requirement that all formal credentials will be finalised prior to commencement of employment.

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.

Roma is the largest town in the Maranoa Region servicing a catchment population of almost 14,000 and offers an array of city-like conveniences with friendly country hospitality. Roma's newly built hospital hosts an extensive list of services with state of the art facilities. A great place for families in a region traditionally rich with oil and gas and farming industries, Roma boasts an abundance of sports, recreation and schooling options. With annual events such as Easter in the Country and the Roma Races, Roma is fast becoming renowned for its enthusiasm in bringing world class Festivals and Events to the local area, showcasing their community spirit; the same community feel that makes Roma a career move you will wish you had made earlier.
