Job overview
The Lancashire Diabetic Eye Screening Programme is looking to recruit a Mobile Diabetic Eye Screener/Photographer. To provide clinics in the Lancaster and Morecambe area.
As one of our Mobile screeners, you will be joining a busy, professional team of highly skilled individuals. You will run community-based clinics, photograph patients' eyes to assess for diabetic retinopathy, and need to be empathetic and capable of screening patients daily. Support will be provided during training; afterward, you’ll work independently in a pressured environment, so a calm demeanor is essential. We value customer and people focus, caring about patients, and delivering exceptional service.
We have one vacancy in the North Lancs, Lancaster, and Morecambe area, based at Whitegate Drive in Blackpool, with daily clinics in Lancaster. A full UK driving license is essential, as you will be driving a screening vehicle between sites.
