Once in your area for the day, you’ll only have short drive between patients as they will be clustered in the same postcode region.

• Be trusted to make autonomous decisions and valued for your expertise. Although you'll never be on your own as you can get support or a second opinion in minutes from our senior optometrist team at head office.
• Use the very latest equipment, including mobile slit lamp, I-care tonometer and our industry-leading digital records system, which means no paperwork.

If you are looking for a new challenge and would value the opportunity to make a difference to people’s lives by providing clinically excellent optometry in their homes, then we'd love for you to be part of our journey.
