An opportunity has arisen to join the Surrey DESP. We are looking for someone to join the screening team covering clinics throughout the area.

This is a full-time permanent contract.

Our screeners are the heart of NEC Care spending time on the ground, helping our patients. As a screener, once you have been trained up and met all our competencies, you will run local clinics on your own, for our patients and photograph their eyes to assess for diabetic retinopathy. We'll need you to be empathetic and able to talk to patients. You'll be supported whilst undertaking your training, but once completed will be working largely unsupervised in a pressured environment, so a cool head is essential!

Your local base will be Redhill, and you will be expected to undertake clinics mainly in Redhill, Horley, Oxted, Dorking, Molesey, Leatherhead and Epsom, but you will also be required to cover very occasional clinics further afield in Surrey, including (but not limited to): Cranleigh, Woking, Guildford, Farnham, Ashford and Haslemere.
