We are looking for a motivated and compassionate Ophthalmic Nurse Injector and Triage Nurse to join our dedicated Ophthalmology team. This is an exciting opportunity to deliver high-quality, patient-centred care while working alongside experienced consultants and specialist nurses in a supportive clinical environment.
As an Ophthalmic Nurse Injector and Triage Nurse, you will lead nurse-led intravitreal (IVT) injection clinics, providing treatment for patients with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and other retinal conditions. You will also support the triage of ophthalmic emergency patients, working closely with the specialist nurse to ensure timely assessment and appropriate management.
This role requires excellent clinical skills, attention to detail, sound clinical judgement and a genuine commitment to outstanding patient care. You will work closely with a named Consultant Ophthalmologist, who will provide clinical support before IVT injections are administered, ensuring safe and effective care.
Alongside your clinical responsibilities, you will be encouraged to continue your professional development through training, multidisciplinary team meetings and service improvement initiatives. Your knowledge and experience will help us continue to enhance patient care and develop best practice across the department.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.
We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.
We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
