Why This Role Stands Out:

• Room for Growth: Team members are encouraged and supported to expand their clinical and leadership skills with ongoing training and mentorship directly from experienced eye doctors. As the practice grows, opportunities for advancement may include mastering new technologies, taking on additional responsibilities, or stepping into leadership roles.
• Team-Oriented Culture: Work alongside a friendly, collaborative staff where your contributions matter. The owners are practicing doctors who are invested in your professional development and in creating a supportive work environment.
• Stability and Longevity: Join a thriving practice with a clear vision for future expansion. Be part of a team where people build lasting careers, not just jobs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Maintain exam rooms, diagnostic equipment, and clinical supplies

The Perks:

• Competitive pay starting at $20/hr (commensurate with experience)
• Full-time schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:40am–5:00pm, with occasional Saturdays
• Paid time off, robust healthcare and dental benefits, 401K
• Employee discounts on eyewear and eye care services
• A culture of mentorship and professional growth

What They Are Looking For:

• Minimum 2 years of experience in a retail optometry office
• Strong optometric pre-testing skills and comfort working independently
• Experience with optical sales, eyewear dispensing, and EHR documentation
• Familiarity with vision insurance verification
• Excellent communication, organizational, and multitasking skills
