Overview
We have a single independent practice on the outskirts of Liverpool. It is very busy, always fully booked, and there are two full-time Dispensing Opticians. The atmosphere is friendly and casual, and patient recommendations drive our referrals. We do not advertise.
About the role
We are looking for someone to work one day per week initially as John is starting to reduce his hours towards retirement. There is currently one Optometrist working Mondays. John works Tuesday to Saturday, and we are seeking someone to cover one of those days. The practice sees a mainly older patient base and many patients are on benefits, though we also have high-end dispensing with a good selection of designer frames. Scheduling is on 25-minute intervals, with the first test at 9:10 and the last at 16:25, including a 40-minute lunch break. Paper records are used, and you will need to sign off sight tests and fill in vouchers on the PCSE system.
Equipment includes auto refractor, fundus camera, OCT, and slit lamp camera. The role is not ideally suited to newly qualified applicants; ideally we would like someone with 10 years or more of experience in busy practices, though we can be flexible for the right candidate.
Responsibilities
* Sign off sight tests and complete vouchers on the PCSE system.
* Work one day per week on a Tuesday–Saturday shift, as available in the rota.
* Provide high-quality patient care in a busy practice with a focus on both dispensing and optometric services.
Qualifications
* Significant optometry experience in a busy practice (ideally 10+ years).
* Experience with paper records and PCSE vouchers.
* Ability to work on a part-time basis and integrate with an existing team.
Employment details
* Employment type: Part-time
* Seniority level: Mid-Senior level
* Location: Wallasey, England, United Kingdom
Note: Referrals can increase your chances of interviewing at JOHN PREBBLE OPTICIANS LIMITED.
