Join Wills Street Eyecare in Bendigo - a thriving city in central Victoria with a fantastic lifestyle and only a short trip to Melbourne by the freeway or train. Whilst this is initially a maternity leave position for twelve months, there is the likelihood of ongoing employment.

Our practice has been established for nearly forty years. All three consulting rooms are equipped with anterior and posterior photography, in addition to shared Nidek OCT, Pentacam tomography, Clarus wide-field photography with FAF, biometry and Humphrey visual fields. We work from a beautifully renovated house on the edge of Bendigo’s CBD, offering a unique range of fashion frames and high-end dispensing choices.

The successful candidate will:

• be therapeutically qualified with at least two years’ experience preferred,
• have great communication skills and a genuine desire to help others,
• enjoy contributing to a collaborative optometry team,
• preferably have special interest experience in behavioural optometry, dry eyes, glaucoma or advanced contact lenses / orthokeratology.

In return, we provide an environment that celebrates and promotes the role of optometry in healthcare. This position initially offers a nine-day fortnight, weekdays only, forty minute appointments and a half day of protected administration time. Hours can be flexible, along with an attractive renumeration package for the right person.
