Job description

Associate Optometrist – Changing lives through better sight

Kitchener, ON

The independent optometrist at Specsavers Fairview Park Mall is looking for an associate optometrist to join their busy clinic in Kitchener. Specsavers is the world’s largest, privately‑owned optical retailer. Our journey began 40 years ago in the UK, with visionary optometrists Doug and Mary Perkins. Today, we support over 2,700 healthcare businesses, passionately caring for more than 44 million patients and customers worldwide. We believe that access to quality eyecare should be a right, not a luxury. That’s why we’ve made OCT available as a standard part of eye exams. With our advanced clinical equipment and an extensive range of affordable and high‑quality eyewear, we’re here to make a real difference in the lives of our customers.

Your Opportunity and Practice

Offering eye exams when patients need them means having the right team in each of our optometrist‑owned and operated clinics. Join an independent Optometry Partner and team of passionate eyecare professionals in shaping community eye health.

Your Associate Optometrist Opportunity

• Clinical Excellence: Benefit from a fully‑integrated clinic with the latest diagnostic technology such as: the NIDEK Tonoref 3, NIDEK automated lensometer, Topcon Maestro2, NIDEK intelligent refract RT‑6100, NIDEK slit lamp SL‑1800, and Zeiss HFA3 with SITA Faster visual field. Viewing patient pre‑test reports and history is easier than ever so you can have more informed consultations with your patients.
• Culture of Dedication: A team committed to community eyecare and monitoring the eye health of our patients for preventable vision loss, which is why OCT is made available for standard eye exams.
• Clinical Autonomy: Practice in a private, independent clinic backed by the support and resources of Specsavers to deliver the best care for the needs of your patients.
• Pre‑test Support: Trained eyecare consultants welcome and take your patients through pre‑testing so you have reports sent directly to your exam room to prepare for your consultations.
• Professional Development: Get access to a qualified optometry support consultant for professional development on‑site and virtually.
• Earnings: We want you to have the opportunity to focus your attention on being the best optometrist you aspire to be, that’s why you’ll have the opportunity to earn a daily rate or percentage of billings, whichever is higher.
• Referral bonus: Our people are truly the key to our success – that’s why we’re always on the lookout for talented optometrists. If your referral joins our Specsavers family as an optometrist, you can receive up to $2,000.

In addition to the guaranteed pay, training, and the opportunity to be with us from the start of our exciting Specsavers journey in Canada – you can be at the forefront for new opportunities and ownership if that is something you want to pursue.

What We Are Looking For

You will need to be a registered optometrist in the province of Ontario, adaptable, passionate, and who possess a strong work ethic and a commitment to exceptional patient care.
