Job description

Associate Optometrist – Changing lives through better sight

Cherry Lane Shopping Centre, Penticton

The independent optometrist at Specsavers Cherry Lane is looking for an associate optometrist to join their busy clinic in Penticton.

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 In Penticton Gives You

1. Clinical Excellence: Benefit from a fully integrated clinic with latest diagnostic technology such as: the NIDEK Tonoref 3, NIDEK automated lensometer, Topcon Maestro2, NIDEK intelligent refract RT-6100, NIDEK slit lamp SL-1800, Marco M2 Ultra Slit Lamp, 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Professional Development: Get access to a qualified optometry support consultant for professional development on-site and virtually.

In addition to access to advanced clinical technology and a culture of excellence, you can be at the forefront for new opportunities and ownership, if that is something you want to pursue.
