Employer Description:
Established in 1991 Tomlinson Mobile Opticians was the first mobile optical practice in the UK. After 28 years, changing circumstances meant an end to the mobile service but a continuation of the same standards of care and personal service from a permanent base in the lovely Yorkshire Wolds village of North Newbald. Run by John Tomlinson who hails from South Yorkshire and has over 35 years experience as an optometrist, we maintain the same aims as we always have – to provide the very highest levels of personal service with the convenience and continuity of care that is only possible from a local independent practice.
