About
Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is the leading provider of eye health services in the UK and a world-class centre of excellence for ophthalmic research and education. We have a reputation, developed over two centuries, for providing the highest quality of ophthalmic care. We provide a wide range of clinical services, caring for patients with routine ophthalmic needs as well as those with rare and complex conditions.
Our network of over 23 NHS sites across London and the south east of England allow us to provide expert treatment closer to patients’ homes. We manage two commercial divisions: Moorfields private and Moorfields united Arab Emirates.
Our 2,300 staff are committed to sustaining and building on our pioneering legacy and ensuring we remain at the cutting edge of developments in ophthalmology. If you join us, you will be joining our mission to be the leading international centre in the care and treatment of people with eye disorders, driven by excellence in research and education.
As well as doctors and nurses, we employ people in a wide range of careers related to eyes – optometrists, orthoptists, dispensing opticians, and technicians – as well as back office staff in administration, finance, HR and IT.
Based in the vibrant and fast developing high tech quarter centred around City Road, Hoxton and Shoreditch, we have a lively working atmosphere, easy and quick transport links, affordable housing in the coolest new developments right on the doorstep, career development opportunities for staff at all levels, and a range of attractive benefits that include eye care, generous holidays, and an excellent pension scheme.
You don’t have to be looking for a City base to work with us, though – we have a network of satellites across and beyond the capital.
