Exceptional Optometrist Opportunity Ipswich, Suffolk Salary c. 65,000 FTE 3-5 Days, No Weekends!
We are currently recruiting on behalf of a trusted independent optometry practice offering an exciting opportunity for an experienced optometrist to join their team.
Serving the Suffolk and Norfolk areas, this practice is well-known for its signature blend of professional care and personalised service, building long-term relationships with a loyal community of patients.
The role will cover two stores, both located just 20 minutes apart. With the practice being closed on weekends, you'll benefit from a great work-life balance, with a stable rota and flexible working pattern (3-5 days per week).
You will also be part of a supportive and experienced team, with hands-on guidance from the practice director. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop professionally and clinically, with access to advanced equipment such as OCT, auto refractor, and field screening.
In this position, you will be responsible for conducting thorough eye exams and providing excellent patient care. You will work independently as a sole tester, but with the support of the team around you. A key aspect of the role is building and maintaining strong patient relationships, with an emphasis on delivering exceptional clinical care while being commercially aware.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced optometrist with a passion for patient care, confident in working independently, and able to manage testing autonomously with flexible testing times between 30-45 minutes.
Strong interpersonal skills are essential for developing lasting relationships with patients. We are looking for someone who is commercially aware, with a focus on balancing clinical excellence with business growth, and is comfortable working within a small, collaborative team.
If you are seeking a unique opportunity to work in a community-focused practice with a dedicated team, this could be the perfect next step in your career.
