Staff & Training
At the St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Group, our people are the heart of everything we do. We employ over 260 dedicated staff across our sites in London, the West Bank, Gaza, and London, making us one of the most significant and stable employers in the region.
A Lifeline for Staff and Their Communities
In the occupied Palestinian territories, ophthalmic specialists are in extremely short supply. That’s why we are proud to have built a committed, long-standing team – many of whom have been with us for decades. With your support, we aim to retain and empower them for decades to come by providing job security, competitive salaries, and continued professional development.
Our staff come from the communities we serve. From doctors and nurses to cleaners, security guards, and administrators – every member of our team plays a vital role in delivering sight-saving care. The total annual cost of employing our staff is £XX, and we rely on the generosity of our donors to continue this life-changing work.
Training, Growth and Excellence
We are committed to being the employer of choice in our community by investing in our people at every level. In 2024, we continued to deliver robust training and development opportunities, including:
Fellowship training for three medical staff
Postgraduate nurse training
Leadership training for senior staff
Our growing medical residency programme
We also benefit from strong partnerships with leading institutions in Israel and the UK, fostering cross-cultural exchange and ensuring our teams remain at the forefront of ophthalmic care.
