Job Description
This position is a 6 month fixed term contract for Portlaoise and surrounding counties.
We are hiring for a really great opportunity within our Retinal Technicians team in Portlaoise and surrounding areas. The role involves Eye Photography, used to identify the damage to the retina that can be caused by complications of Diabetes. Experience is not essential, so this could be a really great opportunity for someone looking to take a step into healthcare, or even someone already working in the Healthcare space who would like to develop their skillset. We have a really great, professional team, who will support you every step of the way towards becoming a specialist in this space.
Our Team
You`ll be part of the national programme, working alongside our Senior Diabetic Retinal Technician's and Team Leader's, whilst being supported by the administration team, programme manager and clinical lead. All of our team are already (or on their way to being) subject matter experts in Retinopathy – so you’ll never find yourself in a position where you don’t have the support you need.
Qualifications
We want to make sure you're set for success, so these are the key skills we`re looking for:
- Driving license and car is essential
- A passion for customer care and positive patient outcomes
- Being IT literate is a must - word processing, spreadsheets and regular use of Microsoft Office
- Initiative and the ability to prioritise tasks, as well as using problem-solving skills.
- A great work ethic and a proactive approach are essential, as you`ll be largely unsupervised after the initial training period
- Excellent communication skills at all levels
Additional Information
Candidates must be able to demonstrate a pre-existing right to work and travel within the EU. Documentary evidence will be required.
All offers are subject to satisfactory vetting and references and occupational health checks. Depending on the nature of the role, Garda Vetting may also be required.
