Truro, United Kingdom Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust Full time

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Ophthalmic photographer to join our existing team of photographers working within the Eye Unit at Royal Cornwall Hospital NHS Trust.

The post will cover a wide range of ophthalmic imaging including optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus photography, corneal topography and angiography supporting the wide variety of speciality clinics that run within ophthalmology, such as Wet Aged Related Macular Degeneration (WARM), Glaucoma, Vitreo retina and Diabetic.

Whilst previous experience within an ophthalmic or healthcare setting would be beneficial, it is not essential as on job training will be provided. The post holder would need to have a good level of computer literacy and highly developed hand/eye co ordination to undertake the specialist imaging techniques used in ophthalmic photography.

This is a permanent position 37.5 hours per week, worked over 4 long days, Monday to Saturday and is based in the Eye Unit at Royal Cornwall Hospital. We also provide the Ophthalmic Photography Service at West Cornwall Hospital, Falmouth Hospital and Bodmin Hospital and therefore there maybe some travel to other hospital sites. A current full, clean driving licence and access to a car would be a requirement.

The post holder will work within the Royal Cornwall Hospital NHS Trust Ophthalmic Photography Department, supporting the Ophthalmology Service within Cornwall.

The post holder will be providing a complex, specialist, diagnostic imaging and clinical investigation service to patients of all ages suffering from diseases of the eye and visual system, this includes providing the reports and baseline evaluations for review by the ophthalmic clinicians

After the necessary training and induction, the post holder will be responsible for providing a comprehensive imaging, photography and angiography service to the patients under the care of Royal Cornwall Hospital NHS Trust. This includes travel to community hospitals within the county.

Training and supervision of other healthcare professionals and junior staff maybe required.

The Royal Cornwall Hospital is located in Truro, the cobbled, cathedral capital of Cornwall. With great shopping, art galleries and restaurants Truro offers easy access to the county’s stunning coastline, peaceful countryside, lush valleys and beautiful estuaries. For those interested in an active lifestyle, Cornwall offers a wise range of water sports and costal treks.

Sustainability is integral to the Trust achieving the NHS Net Zero target. All staff are therefore actively encouraged and supported to implement new ways of working within their field of expertise.

Update - NHS employees/applicants of frontline posts at the Royal Cornwall Trust are no longer required to be fully vaccinated against COVID by 1 April 2022. This is pending the public consultation and Parliamentary review announced by the government. We may however request immunisation status but this will not impact working with the Trust.

Following the appropriate training undertake the full range of ophthalmic imaging and investigations to patients under the care of the Ophthalmic Department, including but not exclusively:
Fundus Fluorescein Angiography

Indocyanine Green Angiography

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) of the macular and the disc

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA)

Colour Photographs of the retina

Corneal Topography

For further information about this role please see the attached job description and person specification.

Many of our staff work flexibly in many different ways. Please talk to us at interview about any flexible working arrangements you would prefer or require. While we may not be able to fully accommodate all requests, such requests will not be referenced during the interview scoring process, and we will fully consider and try to accommodate them for successful applicants.
