Job description

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Education Team at Moorfields Eye Hospital, an internationally renowned centre of excellence. The Optometry Education Coordinator will play a key role in delivering high-quality clinical and academic training. This includes postgraduate modules, CPD courses, student placements, and professional events.

You will lead the coordination of administrative processes that support external commercial programmes, helping to deliver structured training, assessments, and conferences. You'll also manage digital learning platforms (e.g. Moodle), student communications, and faculty support, while continuously improving systems through smarter, automated processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate external clinical education activities, including CPD short courses, modules and student placements.
• Liaise with higher education partners and internal stakeholders to maintain teaching schedules, programme documentation, and communications.
• Support delivery of clinical assessments such as OSCEs, written exams, and professional presentations.
• Manage event logistics for in-person and online education sessions, including annual conferences and CPD workshops.
• Administer learning platforms (e.g. Moodle, MS Teams) and ensure digital teaching content is up to date and accessible.
• Act as the main administrative point of contact for students and clinical educators, managing course queries and onboarding.
• Develop and document departmental standard operating procedures and identify opportunities for process automation (e.g. using MS Forms or Power Automate).
• Provide administrative support to governance meetings, including minute-taking and action tracking.
• Contribute to quality assurance processes, internal audits, and compliance with regulatory and data governance standards.
• Work flexibly in a changing environment to support evolving educational needs within the department.

Strong communication, digital, and organisational skills are essential, along with a flexible and solution-focused approach. Occasional weekend work is required (approx. 4-5 times per year). This role is ideal for a highly organised and tech-savvy professional who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. You'll need excellent communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities independently.

• Competitive salary (including high-cost area supplement)
• Membership of the NHS Pension Scheme
• 24/7 independent counselling support
• Career-long learning and development opportunities
• Excellent transport connections
• Access to NHS and Blue Light discount schemes
