About

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.

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.
