Up to £70,000 + Bonus Monday-Friday Only Proper Work-Life Balance
At Inspired Recruitment Group, we understand that stepping away from the high street-or even just thinking about a new opportunity-can feel like a big decision. That's why we keep things strictly confidential, pressure-free, and at your pace. If you're an experienced Optometrist who's ready for a more rewarding and balanced way of working, this could be just the move you've been waiting for.
What's On Offer
* Up to £70,000 basic salary
* Bonus structure that recognises your impact, not just your output
* Monday to Friday only, 8:30am-5:30pm - no evenings, no weekends
* Private medical insurance
* 33 days' annual leave (pro-rata)
* GOC fees & indemnity fully covered
* All equipment provided and maintained - you just bring your expertise
The Role
This is a genuinely fulfilling opportunity to deliver high-quality care to patients in care homes and similar settings - away from the retail pressure of the high street. You'll be supported by a skilled dispenser, giving you the space to focus entirely on clinical care.
You'll be:
* Carrying out thorough sight tests following clear clinical guidelines
* Providing helpful advice on vision, lens options and eye health
* Communicating clearly with patients, care staff and families
* Helping supervise and support your team when needed
* Maintaining confidentiality and professionalism at all times
What We're Looking For
* GOC-registered Optometrist with minimum 1 year post-qualified experience
* Excellent interpersonal skills - empathetic, calm, and patient-centred
* Strong understanding of NHS regulations and professional compliance
* Open-minded, positive, and able to adapt to different care settings
* Domiciliary experience welcome, but not essential
Why This Role?
This is more than a job - it's a chance to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable and elderly patients who need your care. If you want a role where you're trusted, supported, and valued - this is it.
Next Steps
We know this sort of move isn't for everyone - but if it's something you're even curious about, let's have a confidential, friendly chat. No hard sell. No pressure. Just a real conversation about what could be next for you.
