About the Opportunity
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established independent optical practice in Goole for an Optometrist who genuinely values quality-led, patient-focused care.
This is a single-testing practice with a loyal, long-standing patient base, offering generous 35-minute appointments and a considered approach to eyecare.
The role has been created to allow the experienced Optometrist Owner to step back from the consulting room and focus on growing the business further, meaning you'll be trusted, supported, and given real clinical autonomy.

Equipment and services include:
OCT
Corneal topographer
A growing contact lens base
Specialist services and complex case work
Regular children's eyecare
This is a role where you'll be involved in the full patient journey, not confined to the testing room.
The Role
As Optometrist, you'll deliver thorough, unhurried eye examinations while building long-term relationships with patients who genuinely value independent care.
Your responsibilities will include:
Conducting comprehensive eye examinations with 35-minute testing times
Managing a variety of clinical cases, including children and specialist needs
Supporting and developing the contact lens side of the business
Working closely with the wider team across the full patient journey
Contributing ideas and insight to support the ongoing growth of the practice
About You
This role would suit an Optometrist who:
Is GOC-registered
Truly embodies independent values and patient-first care
Enjoys clinical variety and taking time with patients
Values continuity of care and community-based practice
Is looking for part-time work with excellent work-life balance
What's On Offer
Circa £55,000 FTE (pro rata for 3 days)
3-day working week
No late nights or Sundays
Short Saturday hours (9am-2pm)
Single-testing, well-supported environment
Modern equipment including OCT and topography
A supportive, experienced Optometrist Owner
A role where care, trust, and professionalism come first
How to Apply
If you're an Optometrist looking for a role where you can practice proper independent eyecare, enjoy genuine clinical freedom, and maintain excellent work-life balance, we'd love to hear from you.
