We are a family of 12 independent opticians spanning Dorset and Somerset, with our first practice still located in Twickenham. The original company "Frith Bros" was founded in Twickenham by Robert Frith's Uncle back in 1926. With nearly 100 employees across the 12 practices, we are thrilled to say our average length of service is 10 years. Join us not only for a new job, but also a long and healthy career.
Our optometrist position in Crewkerne is a fantastic opportunity to work in a clinically focussed, quality driven practice. You would work within a practice led by a director with specialist interest in Glaucoma and Therapeutics. This practice is fully supportive of optometrists developing their special interests including specialist contact lenses and dry eye clinics. Support for higher qualifications is offered and we actively encourage staff to spend part of the week in hospital work.
The practice itself is recently refurbished throughout, air-conditioned, and extensively equipped including Optomap retinal imaging, OCT, auto-phoropter digital topographers and dry eye clinic. The practice has well trained, welcoming support staff including dispensing opticians as well as a digital dispensing tower.
As an independent practice, we can provide you with the clinical freedom, generous test-times to allow for comprehensive professional care, and equipment to solve problems and genuinely help people.
Our patients are loyal to us, returning year after year, meaning you'll have the opportunity to see real continuity of care too.
You'll be an integral part of our team and will help drive our service offering forward, always looking for opportunities to improve and innovate.
We are ideally looking to fill four or five days a week, including alternate Saturdays as a minimum, however if you are available to offer a part time position then we would be very keen to discuss your requirements.
