About the Opportunity

This is an opportunity to practise optometry in the way many clinicians originally set out to - with time, autonomy and genuine patient connection.

You’ll be joining a family-run domiciliary optician delivering high-quality eye care directly to patients in a care home setting. The focus is on continuity of care, clinical freedom and accessibility, rather than testing volumes or rigid KPIs.

Work one-to-one with patients in a calm, unhurried environment

Supported by a Dispensing Optician on visits, allowing you to focus on clinical care

Build long-term relationships with patients, families and care teams
