“Helping People with Sight Loss Navigate Life with Confidence”

Sight for Surrey is looking for a caring, confident, and motivated individual to join our expanding Eye Clinic Liaison Officer (ECLO) team. Working across Ashford & St Peter’s Hospital Trust sites, you’ll play a vital role in supporting people who are newly diagnosed with sight loss — providing emotional reassurance, practical information, and guidance at a time when it’s most needed.

As an ECLO, you’ll be the essential link between the hospital eye service and community support. You’ll work closely with NHS staff, social care teams, and local organisations to ensure patients receive joined-up, person-centred care and ongoing support once they leave the clinic.

Whether you join us as a Trainee ECLO or as a Qualified ECLO, this is an opportunity to build a rewarding career while making a tangible difference in people’s lives every day.

Unqualified applicants will receive full training and support to complete the RNIB & City University “Eye Clinic Support Studies” qualification (essential for the role).
Qualified applicants will already hold this recognised ECLO qualification and bring experience in health or social care. You will be required to complete a short case study before interview.

We offer:

• 28 days’ holiday (including bank holidays, pro rata)
• Pension scheme with 6% employer match
• Ongoing professional training and development
• Free eye tests and contribution toward work-related glasses
• Employee Assistance Programme
• A supportive, inclusive, and purpose-driven workplace

An enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is required. The role involves travel across Surrey as well as head office and home-based working. The postholder must be able to carry a work bag, laptop, and relevant promotional materials as needed.

Join us and be part of a service that transforms lives through understanding, empathy, and practical support.

Apply now and help bridge the gap between medical diagnosis and life after sight loss.
