The Opportunity

We are working with a highly respected and fast-growing provider of domiciliary optical care, currently seeking a qualified and compassionate Optometrist to join their Durham team.

You\'ll see around 7 patients per day, supported by advanced technology including:

• Digital fundus camera

• I-care tonometer
• An industry-leading digital records system (no paperwork)

The company promotes autonomy in clinical decision-making, while also offering remote support from senior optometrists when needed.

• No weekends - Enjoy a better work-life balance.
• Flexible working - Choose a schedule that suits your lifestyle (4 or 5 days per week).
• Meaningful work - Make a direct impact on individuals who truly value your service.
• Full support - CPD opportunities, access to higher qualifications, and a dedicated head office team to back you up.

Ideal Candidate

You\'ll be a GOC-registered Optometist with a passion for delivering exceptional patient care. Previous domiciliary experience is welcome but not essential — full training is provided.
