Are you an experienced orthoptist with a special interest in complex paediatric orthoptics? Are you looking for a challenging new role in a hospital setting, with an exciting mix of clinical development and interesting workload? If so, we have a great opportunity for you here at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated Orthoptist to provide a comprehensive, quality orthoptic service within the busy ophthalmology department of a tertiary referral centre.


This post is most suitable for Orthoptists with significant post-graduation experience, with evidence of specialist paediatric knowledge and skills.


You will be given high quality training opportunities with close clinical supervision, and opportunities to share knowledge to others within the team.


As the role requires communication and liaison with patients with complex conditions, other clinical departments, both within the hospital and other trust, advanced communication and inter-personal skills are paramount.


All applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age, disability status or length of time spent unemployed.


We particularly welcome applications from BAME communities, people with disabilities and/or long-term health conditions and LGBT+ community members.


We have policies and procedures in place to ensure that all applicants and employees are treated fairly and consistently. We are proud to be accredited as a Disability Confident Employer, a member of Business Disability Forum and a Stonewall Diversity Champion.


We have active and Executive supported BAME, LGBT+ and Allies, Disability and Long-Term Health Conditions and Women's staff networks. Staff networks are employee-led groups formed around interests, issues and a common bond or background. Staff network members create a positive and inclusive work environment at Great Ormond Street Hospital by actively contributing to the Trust's mission, values and efforts specific to inclusion. All of our staff networks are open to any employee.
