An opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Orthoptist to join our team of 8 Orthoptists and Glaucoma specialists based at Singleton Hospital. This is a Band 6, full time (37.5 hours weekly) permanent post which will be split between working in the Orthoptic clinic and as part of the Glaucoma multi-disciplinary team. As a forward thinking team of 8 Orthoptists we have taken opportunities to develop the skills of our workforce and extend clinical practice. Many of our team have gained recognition in their field of expertise including glaucoma, botulinum toxin clinics and medical retina.
You will be based at the Orthoptic Department, Singleton Hospital, Swansea as part of the surgical directorate working closely with 13 Consultant Ophthalmologists in the Ophthalmology team. You may be required to work at other Orthoptic units within the Health Board currently at Neath Port Talbot Hospital, Baglan, so the ability to travel between sites in a timely manner would be an advantage.
