Job Description

We are hiring for a really great opportunity within our Retinal Technicians team the Kerry and the surrounding counties. The role involves Eye Photography, used to identify the damage to the retina that can be caused by complications of Diabetes.

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 Technicians and Team Leader and other programme seniors, 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.

As a company, we aim to provide our patients and clients with a consistently high level of care, skill and professional integrity. We believe that the service we provide represents outstanding economic value, yet maintains the highest technical and professional standards clinically achievable. Our commitment extends not just to our patients, but to our staff, our careers and our profession as a whole. The role involves travelling to and from health centres and places of work within the programme area using a company vehicle – so a full Driving License is essential.

We want to make sure you're set for success, so these are the key skills we`re looking for:

  • Experience is not required
  • 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
