Job description

IRIS The Visual Group is looking for an Optician in Chilliwack, BC

Following the retirement of our long-time Optician after 37 years, an opportunity has opened to join our well-established clinic in Chilliwack. We are a community clinic where patients are known by name and many families have trusted us for generations.

You won't be joining a chain. You'll be joining a team of career Licensed Opticians with over 100 years of combined experience who love to mentor.

Why This Role is Different:

• Mentorship, not isolation: Work alongside lifelong Licensed Opticians.
• Full-scope collaboration: Work directly with a large team of Optometrists practicing a broad scope of optometry - including specialty contacts, myopia control, and ocular disease.
• Freedom to dispense the best: We support clinical choice. If your patient needs the best from Essilor, Nikon, Zeiss, or Shamir - you can choose it.
• Modern tools to do your best work: State-of-the-art EMR, large in-stock inventory of single vision, regular, hi-index and blue light lenses, and a brand new edging lab on premises for same-day service and quality control.

We offer:

• Stable full-time hours
• Competitive compensation
• Benefits
• CE support
• A loyal patient base from day one

Evening Schedule : Monday thru Friday
