Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Ophthalmic Imaging Team at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust as an Ophthalmic Imaging Technician.

We are seeking applicants with previous ophthalmic imaging experience who are looking to further develop their skills within a busy and progressive Eye Unit. Experience in performing some ophthalmic imaging investigations such as OCT, fundus photography, visual field testing, and other diagnostic ophthalmic procedures is essential for this role. This position offers the opportunity to work with a wide range of imaging technologies and contribute to the diagnosis and management of diverse ophthalmic conditions.

The successful candidate will provide a range of ophthalmic imaging services and visual field assessments for patients attending the Eye Unit, including outpatients, inpatients, and those presenting to Eye Emergency.

We recognise the value of technology and encourage candidates to use available tools to support their application. However, it is essential that your application reflects your own skills, experiences, and achievements. Applications that rely heavily on generic AI-generated content and do not demonstrate personal insight may be less successful. We encourage applicants to provide a genuine and individualised supporting statement that clearly highlights their suitability for the role.

Gweithio i'n sefydliad

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care. 

 We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.

 Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 30% lower than London and 17 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.

 We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

As an Ophthalmic Imaging Technician, you will provide a high-quality visual field and diagnostic imaging service for outpatients, inpatients and patients attending Eye Emergency.

Working closely with Ophthalmic Consultants, Optometrists and other members of the multidisciplinary team, your main responsibilities will include:

Working closely with Ophthalmic Consultants, Optometrists and Nursing staff, you will support the accurate diagnosis and ongoing care of patients with a range of ophthalmic conditions.
