Job description

Bristol Eye Hospital is inviting applications from enthusiastic and motivated optometrists to join the Optometry team in the Glaucoma and/or Medical Retina Service.


The Optometry Department is well established and integrated into the multidisciplinary environment of the hospital, providing ophthalmic clinical management to people in Bristol, Weston, and across the South West of England. Optometrists work across a broad range of multi-professional services from highly skilled core optometry to complex and specialised services, including glaucoma, cornea, uveitis, medical retina, and ED.


You will be based in the Glaucoma Service and/or the Medical Retina Service with clinical responsibilities in patient-facing clinics for both routine and complex case mixes, new patient clinics, virtual clinic review, and potential to deliver selective laser trabeculoplasty.


Candidates will have the highest level of clinical experience and qualifications enabling them to work autonomously as well as under supervision. Successful applicants will be fully engaged with the department, contributing to team development and clinical service delivery through high-quality supervision and teaching, as well as active input into audit and clinical governance.


Clinics are located at both Bristol Eye Hospital and Weston General Hospital. The role will be interesting, varied, and there is significant scope for professional and personal development. The post is for a permanent full-time position (10 sessions a week); working one day in medical retina and four days in the glaucoma service, with part-time and job shares considered with a commitment of two days a week as a preferred minimum.


You are an optometrist with a commitment to professional and personal development and an enthusiasm for complex clinical work as well as service innovation. You have a high level of clinical experience in glaucoma which will enable you to manage a high volume complex caseload in the glaucoma service. Your highly developed specialist knowledge has been evidenced by holding the College of Optometrists Diploma in Glaucoma.


Keen to be fully engaged with the department and to contribute to team development as well as clinical service delivery, you will be able to provide high-quality supervision and teaching as well as actively input into audit and clinical governance.


University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) is one of the largest acute Trusts in the country, bringing together a combined workforce of over 13,000 staff and over 100 different clinical services across 10 different sites, serving a core population of more than 500,000 people across South West England. UHBW has been rated by the CQC as 'Good' overall and our staff are proud to deliver excellent care to the people of Bristol, Weston, and beyond.


As a forward-thinking multi-award winning Trust and a digital exemplar committed to improving patient care, our world-leading research and innovations are having a positive local and global impact. Our hospitals are spread across Bristol and Weston, join us and you can enjoy the very best of both worlds; city living within a stone's throw of the countryside or beside the seaside, both with easy access to all that the South West has to offer.


UHBW is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults.
