Optometrist Jobs Sudbury, Suffolk
3-4 days | Fully Private Practice | Salary up to £75k
We are working with a well-established independent optical practice seeking an experienced Optometrist to join their clinical team on a permanent basis. This is a high-quality, patient-focused environment built around advanced clinical care and longer testing times — not volume-driven optics.
About the Practice
This practice is recognised for its professional, patient-first approach, combining clinical expertise with a strong focus on tailored eye care solutions. Significant ongoing investment in advanced diagnostic technology ensures clinicians can deliver the highest standard of care aligned to individual patient lifestyles.
You’ll be joining a highly supportive and experienced team, including a Dispensing Optician, Optical Assistant, and another Optometrist, within a modern and well-equipped setting.
The Role
Position: Optometrist
Contract: Permanent
Working Pattern: 3–4 days per week
Weekends: Alternate Saturdays
Working Hours: 9:00am – 5:30pm (typically finished by 5:00pm)
Testing Times: 45 minutes
Clinical Setting: Fully private (no NHS work)
Clinical Environment
Fully equipped testing rooms
Dedicated contact lens clinic
Advanced equipment including OCT and IPL
Focus on quality consultations over volume
Structured clinics with realistic patient numbers
Salary & Benefits
Salary: Up to £75,000 (dependent on experience)
Pension scheme
Private health insurance
Professional fees paid
Generous annual leave
Supportive working environment with strong work-life balance
What We’re Looking For
* GOC registered Optometrist
* Minimum 1 year post-qualification experience
* Strong clinical standards and attention to detail
* Pride in delivering high-quality patient care
* Comfortable working within a fully private setting
* A team player who values collaboration and professionalism
Why This Role Stands Out
This is an opportunity to step into a true clinical environment where you can focus on delivering exceptional care without time pressure. With advanced technology, longer testing times, and a collaborative team, it offers a genuine platform for professional satisfaction and long-term development.
If you’re an Optometrist who takes pride in your work and wants to operate at a higher clinical level, this is a role worth serious consideration.
Location
Sudbury offers an appealing mix of countryside living and practical convenience, making it a great place to live and work. It provides a relaxed pace of life with plenty of outdoor space, while still being well connected to London, Colchester and Ipswich.
With more affordable housing, a strong sense of community, and a quieter working environment, it’s particularly well suited to professionals looking for better work-life balance without feeling isolated.
