A vacancy has arisen for a part time (15 hours per week) band 6 optometrist to join the optometry team at Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS foundation trust. We are seeking an enthusiastic optometrist who is keen to develop their clinical skills and progress their specialist clinical interests. This role would suit any practitioner who is keen to explore a career in hospital optometry or wanting to extend their clinical skills with more complex optometry patients and we welcome applications from newly qualified optometrists or those in the final stages of their pre-registration year.
Main duties of the job
