A Vacancy at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust.
We are offering an exciting position for an experienced dispensing optician to join our team in a clinically focused role.
You will join a multidisciplinary team to provide high quality ophthalmic care for the patients of Suffolk and surrounding areas.
This role will focus on two key areas of optometry practice (complex contact lens and low vision) and will give opportunity for you to become an autonomous clinician within their areas of expertise.
You will be responsible for delivering high quality clinical care for patients with both common and rare ocular conditions. Clinical practice will include managing an array of complex and clinically necessary contact lenses including Rigid Gas Permeable, Semi scleral and prosthetic lenses. Low vision clinics will include verifying a patient’s eligibility for certification of visual impairment and dispensing simple and complex low vision aids as well as providing advice and recommendations on living with sight loss. You will also be responsible for fitting and dispensing ptosis props or other clinically complex dispenses required.
Previous experience in contact lens fitting or low vision is essential for this position. We will support you to develop skills and experience to enhance your clinical scope of practice. You will also support training and education within the department and the wider optometry community.
For candidates with less experience and post graduate qualifications, we would welcome an application to join the team in a developmental position, starting at Band 5. Progression through salary bands will depend on achievement of both clinical competency and post graduate qualifications.
This position is equivalent to five clinical sessions per week. Working days & pattern will be agreed with the successful candidate at appointment but could include 3 session days or a two week working pattern on mutual agreement.
We are ESNEFT and we provide hospital and community health services to almost one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our dedicated staff deliver care from acute hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, surgeries, community clinics and in patients’ own homes.
We are one of the largest NHS organisations in England, employing more than 12,000 staff.
We pride ourselves on supporting our staff. We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities, as well as flexible working options.
Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services.
Our philosophy is thatTime Mattersto everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and patients.
We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what’s widely regarded as the world’s best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients.
If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
