About the Role
We are looking for a part time IP Optometrist to join us in delivering outstanding patient care. You’ll play a key role in providing expert advice, fitting a wide range of contact lenses, and delivering ongoing care that makes patients feel confident, comfortable, and cared for.
This is a role for someone who values the clinical side of the job, who enjoys building trust with patients from a variety of backgrounds, and who thrives in a team that supports each other. You’ll have the time, tools and autonomy to do your job to a high standard, without feeling rushed or restricted. Collaboration is at the heart of the practice, so you’ll work closely with your teams to ensure a smooth patient journey and a great workplace culture.
As our new Optometrist, you’ll carry out thorough eye examinations and provide tailored services and solutions that align with each patient’s lifestyle and needs. You’ll work within GOC guidelines and company policies to deliver expert care, while supporting the team by resolving clinical or technical queries. Your role also includes liaising with external professionals, maintaining practice equipment, and contributing your knowledge and ideas to the ongoing success of the practice.
We would ideally like to hear from an IP qualified Optometrist, although this is not essential for the right candidate. We are looking for someone with a genuine passion for delivering exceptional clinical care and a desire to continually develop their skills within a progressive independent practice. There will be opportunities to pursue and expand specialist interests in areas such as Independent Prescribing, Behavioural Optometry, Binocular Vision, Contact Lenses (including specialist fitting), and Orthokeratology (Ortho-K), supported by a team that is committed to clinical excellence and professional development
