Orthoptist Preceptorship

Join to apply for the Orthoptist Preceptorship role at Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust

Applications are invited for an enthusiastic and well-motivated orthoptist to join our friendly orthoptic department. We are a team of 4 orthoptists supporting 10 ophthalmologists, including 2 paediatric consultants, across three sites. The department provides a comprehensive range of adult and paediatric services, primary and secondary vision screening, and works within special needs schools. The role involves team collaboration and some single-handed sessions. Although based at East Surrey Hospital, you will cover clinics at other sites within the trust; therefore, a car driver is desirable. Full preceptorship training will be provided, with potential progression to a Band 6 after successful completion of the preceptorship year.

Applicants must have a degree or diploma in orthoptics and be state registered with HCP.

For more details, please see the attached trust job description and person specification for a full list of duties and responsibilities.

Crawley Hospital and Horsham in West Sussex, along with Caterham Dene Hospital and Oxted Health Centre in Surrey, offer less complex planned services. In 2019, the Care Quality Commission rated our services as ‘Outstanding’, and we are one of the best-performing trusts in England.

• Winners of Health Service Journal Acute Trust of the Year 2021.
