About the practice
Are you ready to launch your podiatry career or have a sea change in a beautiful coastal town while receiving unparalleled training and support? We are thrilled to announce openings for our 2024 New Graduate Internship Program, or an immediate start for experienced podiatrists.
About the role
Why Join Us?
1. Structured Training and Support: Embark on a comprehensive 2-year internship designed to transition you smoothly from university to private practice if you are a new graduate. Our program progressively trains you to become confident and competent in all areas of podiatry, ensuring you start your career on the right foot. If you have experience already, we would love to also learn from you!
2. Learn from Experienced Professionals: Our clinical director, Mark Ireland (Curtin 2000 BSc and 2005 MSc in Podiatry), created this program after experiencing poor mentoring himself. Now in its 6th year, our internship has successfully trained many podiatrists who continue to thrive in their careers.
3. State-of-the-Art Facilities: Work in a modern, purpose-built clinic equipped with advanced technology such as force plate treadmills, onsite 3D printed orthotics, cold laser therapy for fungal nails, Swift treatment for stubborn warts, shock wave therapy, and more. Enjoy a diverse caseload and cutting-edge tools to enhance your practice. If you are an experienced podiatrist and have a special interest in a particular area, we will create your ultimate diary!
4. Supportive Team Environment: Be part of a team of friendly podiatrists and support staff in a fun, encouraging environment. Our values—enthusiasm, willingness to learn, and having each other's backs—drive every decision we make. You don’t have to be the highest achiever at university to become an excellent clinician; we are experts at training new graduates!
5. Community and Lifestyle: Live and work in the picturesque Albany and Great Southern Region, with a population of 38,000 and daily flights to Perth (one hour flight time). Embrace the regional lifestyle while making a significant impact on the community.
6. Career Development: Benefit from our strong relationships with local physiotherapists, GPs, chiropractors, and other health and fitness professionals. Engage in ongoing professional development and enjoy a variety of clinical experiences.
