CHEC are an NHS provider organisation founded in 2012. Today, we are the largest provider of community-based ophthalmology services in the UK, and in more recent times, we have branched into delivery of Gastroenterology, ENT and Dermatology services, which will be expanded throughout England.

The manner in which we conduct ourselves as one team is through our CHEC values of Caring, Passionate, Togetherness, Listening and Focus. This is the golden thread that runs through the business and differentiates us from others in this space.

We are committed to high standards of patient care with 99% of patients recommending our services to family and friends. We also take immense pride in our new state of the art hospitals as we continue to open new clinics across the UK.

Due to the growth of our services we are looking for employed Ophthalmologists to join us across the UK in our CHEC Hospitals and Community Centres.
