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
