The award winning Ophthalmology Outpatient department at HRI is offering an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated individual to join our expanding Imaging team.

This interesting and challenging role involves performing visual acuity and diagnostic ophthalmic imaging  on patients presenting with a variety of eye conditions.

We offer a supportive and friendly working environment with an opportunity for professional development.

Candidates should be caring, enthusiastic and committed to working as part of a large team dedicated to providing a high quality patient focused care

Previous healthcare and/or imaging experience would be an advantage but not essential as full induction and training will be provided.

 

Working for our organisation

The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest acute and community Partnership arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.

Made up of two Trusts - Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) - our Partnership has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world-class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.

Together we employ nearly 20,000 staff. Our five main hospital sites are Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Scunthorpe General Hospital and Goole and District Hospital, for NLAG and Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital for HUTH.

As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we both lead and contribute to research in many areas - biomedical research, primary care, palliative medicine, cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, vascular surgery, cancer surgery and oncology.

We believe that by developing a diverse, inclusive, innovative, skilled and caring workforce, we can deliver excellent care to our patients and a great future for our employees, our Partnership and our community.
