This is where you will work
In 2024, the Eye Clinics Maastricht and Heerlen became part of Bergman Clinics. This means that you will find yourself in a completely new work environment, in which you will build a fresh future together with the team. The clinic has a warm, homely appearance that contributes to a pleasant working atmosphere. Thanks to the small scale, communication lines are short and there is plenty of room for personal and professional development. Not only is the clinic new, but the team also largely consists of new colleagues. You will be part of a (para)medical team with ophthalmologists, optometrists, and supporting colleagues, who work with much energy and dedication. Together, you will ensure a pleasant working atmosphere in which the client is always central. Because we plan to expand significantly in the long term, we are looking for a team of committed and enthusiastic professionals who want to grow with us and build the future of eye care in the region.
