Moorfields - A global leader in Ophthalmology

We are Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.  Founded in 1804, Moorfields Eye Hospital is a world-class centre of excellence for eye health services, ophthalmic research, and education.

With more than 2,300 staff we are proud to be supported by one of the most diverse workforces in the NHS.  Every year we treat more than 700,000 patients at City Road in central London and at our 22 satellites sites, and, in partnership with the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Biomedical Research Centre we lead one of the most impactful ophthalmic research programmes in the world.

We train many of the leading eye care clinicians in the UK and internationally and have a global reputation for quality and professionalism in ophthalmic care. In addition, we also operate commercial divisions that provide care to private patients in both London and the Middle East. 

This is an exciting time to join Moorfields.  The pandemic fast-tracked a huge amount of innovation which is changing the way we work and deliver care.  Construction is under way on Oriel, our new eye care, research, and education centre being built in Camden.   The new centre will be flexible and modern, enabling us to bring together healthcare, eye research and education under one roof for the first time.

If you want to be part delivering world class eye health services and you share our values: excellence, equity, and kindness, then we would love to hear from you!
