It is important to us that the successful candidate is a great team‑player and confident in their anaesthetic skills, as they will be a key member of the overnight on‑call team.

• Carry out ophthalmic clinical duties as assigned.

• Work a 1 in 4 on call rota evenings and weekends (presently on call is 5pm to 10pm weekdays and 9am to 10pm weekends).
• Take part in formal medical audits.

The successful candidate will be encouraged and supported to further their career by developing a subspecialty interest of their choice.
