This guide is all about recruitment into OCA jobs, specifically the various ways in which orthoptic services, working with others, can increase the number of local people working in them, including from groups that might be currently under-represented in the workforce. Local recruitment brings many benefits with it, such as creating sustainable workforce supply routes and a workforce that better reflects the community it serves. Local recruitment is also a way to work more closely with other Allied Health Professions and external partners, such as colleges and Job Centre Plus.
