About The Opportunity

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is seeking a Full-Time Optician to join our team serving primarily in senior outpatient clinics across San Diego and San Marcos, CA. If you’re dependable, compassionate, and ready for a change from the traditional retail setting, this could be the perfect fit.

Why This Role Is Different

Looking for a role where your work truly makes a difference? As an Optician at CMC, you’ll bring quality vision care directly to senior citizens who often have limited access to optometry. It’s hands‑on, meaningful work — and you’ll have opportunity to cross-train in other clinical fields like audiology and podiatry. This is not a high‑volume model. We emphasize quality over volume because we are a mission‑driven healthcare company.
