Job Description

Optometrist Opportunity – Independent, Clinical Focus

We’re working with a high-end, independently owned optical group that’s built a strong reputation around clinical excellence, advanced technology, and a genuinely patient-first approach

This is not a volume-driven environment. It’s a place where you’re given the time, tools, and autonomy to practise properly.

The Opportunity

You’ll be joining a well-established practice with deep community roots, delivering comprehensive, full-scope optometry in a setting that blends clinical precision with a premium retail experience

  • 30–45 minute testing times
  • True patient-led consultations (not KPI-led)
  • Opportunity to develop clinical interests
  • Supportive, experienced team environment

The role offers a balance of:

  • Clinical care
  • Patient education
  • Commercial awareness (done properly, not pushed)

The Practice

This is a modern, design-led environment with a strong focus on both clinical outcomes and patient experience

You’ll have access to:

  • Advanced diagnostic technology including OCT and high-precision scanning systems
  • A wide scope of care, including dry eye and ocular health management
  • A premium eyewear offering with carefully curated collections

The business has built its reputation on:

  • Long-standing community relationships (30+ years in some locations)
  • High clinical standards
  • A warm, consultative patient journey

The Role

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Delivering advanced eye examinations
  • Diagnosing and managing a range of ocular conditions
  • Prescribing and advising on appropriate solutions
  • Supporting patients through their full eye care journey

There’s also scope to get involved in:

  • Pre and post-operative care
  • Specialist services (depending on your interests)

About You

You’re not just looking for “another test room”.

You’ll likely be:

  • GOC registered
  • Clinically confident and patient-focused
  • Commercially aware, but not commercially driven
  • Interested in delivering a higher standard of care

Additional accreditations (IP, Medical Retina, Glaucoma) are welcomed but not essential.

Why This Role Stands Out

Let’s be clear — most optometry roles sound the same.

This one doesn’t.

  • Proper testing times
  • Investment in technology
  • Genuine clinical autonomy
  • A brand that values experience over volume

If you’re currently in a fast-paced environment and want to move into something more considered and clinically rewarding, this is worth exploring.
