About CHEC (Community Health and Eyecare)
CHEC is an independent community healthcare provider founded in 2012, working in partnership with the NHS. Its network of more than 35 community hospitals delivers ophthalmology, gastroenterology, ENT and dermatology services, bringing specialist consultations, diagnostics and treatment closer to patients' homes. Its head office is in Preston.
The organisation reports 572,698 appointments per year and works with thousands of optometrists and GPs through a shared-care partnership model. Clinical and non-clinical teams support care across its hospitals, with central patient booking and support services. Patients can book, view and manage appointments through its CHEC-in portal.
Development across roles
Every colleague receives a role-specific onboarding planner, with learning supported by the Learning and Development and Education team. Staff can access a Personal Development Plan and e-learning courses matched to their role, so development extends across clinical and support teams.
Hospital and support teams
Local hospital managers lead both clinical and non-clinical colleagues. Central teams in Preston support the hospitals through functions including People and Education, finance and procurement, IT and software development, facilities and clinical services.
