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.

What You’ll Do

• Assist the optometrist with patient intake, visual screenings, and basic diagnostic testing
• Assist with eyewear selection, adjustments, and fittings for patients
• Set up, break down, and maintain portable optometry equipment
• Follow strict sterilization and infection control protocols
• Ensure patients feel comfortable, supported, and informed
• Complete basic documentation, charting and administrative tasks
• Represent CMC with professionalism, compassion, and reliability

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience as an Optician or Optometric Assistant preferred
• Bilingual in Spanish is a plus
• Experience serving geriatric patients preferred
• Strong understanding of OSHA & infection control
• Reliable Transportation and Valid Driver's License
• Able to lift/transport equipment (25–50 lbs)
• Must pass federal background check + drug screening
• Professional, punctual, and able to work independently
• A heart for serving seniors and underserved communities

What You’ll Get

• $25-$27 / hour + mileage reimbursement + benefits
• Consistent schedule — no nights or weekends
• A supportive, mission‑driven team
• Independence, flexibility, and the chance to make a real impact
• The fulfillment of bringing essential care to those who need it most
