Join our dynamic Orthoptic team as a Senior Orthoptist and play a key role in delivering high-quality, patient-centred care across our hospitals. Working as an autonomous practitioner within the Surgical Division, you will assess, diagnose and manage patients with ocular motility disorders, amblyopia and complex visual conditions, using specialist skills and evidence-based practice to develop effective treatment plans.

You will work across a variety of specialist clinics including paediatric ophthalmology, emergency orthoptics, stroke, low vision and biometry, supporting patients of all ages with diverse clinical needs. The role involves close collaboration with ophthalmologists, optometrists and the wider multidisciplinary team to ensure the best outcomes for patients.

As a senior clinician, you will also act as a source of expertise for patients, carers and healthcare professionals, providing clear communication and compassionate support throughout the patient journey. Opportunities to contribute to clinical teaching, audit, research and service development form an important part of the role, helping to enhance and evolve orthoptic services across the Trust.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced orthoptist seeking professional autonomy, clinical variety and the chance to make a meaningful impact within a supportive and progressive NHS team.

To understand the role in more detail, please refer to the attached job description and person specification.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
