Job description

📍 Looking for an Optometrist role that blends clinical depth, strong team culture, and the space to grow?
In this vibrant independent practice (one of the largest of its kind in the South West) you’ll be working alongside a highly experienced clinical team in a setting designed to support your development and spark long-term career satisfaction.

Why This Role Stands Out

• 💷 Up to £65,000 FTE salary + bonus structure
• 🧑⚕️ GOC & AOP fees covered
• 📅 4–5 days/week (including alternate Saturdays) — part-time welcomed too
• 🛠 Fully air-conditioned, spacious practice equipped with Optomap retinal imaging, Heidelberg OCT, Latest Humphrey VFA
• 🤝 Work alongside a team of highly qualified clinicians: 4 IP-qualified Optometrists, Glaucoma diploma holders, Orthoptists, specialist contact lens fitters & dyslexia specialist
• 🎯 Opportunities to spend part of the week in hospital ophthalmology clinics (casualty, paediatrics, orthoptics)
• 📚 Support for higher qualifications encouraged and provided

The Culture

This is a practice that takes clinical care seriously - but also knows how to create a happy, well-supported team. You’ll have the time and tools to deliver meaningful care, the autonomy to shape your career, and the backing of colleagues who genuinely want to see you succeed.

What You’ll Need

• ✔️ GOC-registered Optometrist
• ✔️ Based in the UK with full right to work
• ✔️ A passion for clinical excellence
• ✔️ An interest in growing your skills (whether you’re newly qualified or experienced)
• ✔️ A collaborative mindset and team-first approach

📩 This is a rare blend of professional freedom, meaningful patient care, and long-term potential. Let’s talk about what your next chapter could look like. Or fill in our short questionnaire and we'll be in touch.
