Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a proactive and skilled Resuscitation Officer to join our small and friendly team. This Band 6 role requires a practitioner who can work with a high degree of autonomy, delivering specialist resuscitation training and contributing to service development, audit, and quality improvement.

Moorfields Eye Hospital is preparing for a major transition, with a planned move to a new state-of-the-art facility in the King’s Cross area in 2027. As a result, there is significant transformation and project work underway across the organisation.

The successful candidate will play an active role in this transition, contributing to the development and implementation of new systems and processes. This will include supporting the establishment and embedding of the 2222 emergency response team within the new environment, ensuring safe, effective, and responsive resuscitation services are maintained throughout the transition and beyond.

Communication is a key component of this role, particularly within a single specialty hospital where exposure to resuscitation events may be limited.

Strong interpersonal skills are essential to embed best practice and foster a culture of safety.
