Background

Hello! Welcome to this job advert for an Ophthalmic Imaging Technician at VISIO Health. We are a brand new family-run Ophthalmology clinic in Wooburn Green and are looking to hire a bank imagining technician to assist in diagnostic screening procedures. We're looking for somebody that fits with our company values and mission statement. We are consultant-led and patient-centred.

We are applying for NHS contracts to deliver cataract surgery, YAG lasers and oculoplastics for the NHS. When we get this contract, we could be very busy and are looking for a technician who would love to join us.
