Ipswich, United Kingdom New Medical Systems Ltd Full time

Job summary

We are looking for a new Optometrist to join our Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds sites. This will be 40 hours over 5 days per week including weekends on a rota basis (part-time roles also available).

Main duties of the job

Role overview

Optometrists play a vital role at Newmedica. They run both the pre and post operative clinics and triage patients. They operate a full range of diagnostic equipment to make clinical assessments and will analyse and interpret specialist diagnostic test results including identifying new or deteriorating eye conditions.

They provide advice to patients as well as explaining procedures. The thought of eye surgery can be a daunting prospect for patients to deal with, so our Optometrists need to be empathetic and friendly and able to put patients at ease.

The Optometrist role at Newmedica offers a modern hospital-based environment with opportunities for clinical learning. Our patients have a variety of interesting clinical cases which offer more complex decision-making scenarios. This is therefore a great role for a qualified Optometrist looking for personal development and to expand their professional horizons.
