We are a busy pediatric ophthalmology practice seeking a dependable, experienced Ophthalmic Technician to join our Miami/Kendall team.

This is a primarily clinical technician position. Pediatric ophthalmology experience is helpful, but it is not required. We are willing to provide specialty training to a candidate who already has a strong foundation in ophthalmology and is interested in learning pediatric ophthalmology.

Primary Responsibilities

• Perform patient workups efficiently and accurately

• Help maintain efficient patient flow and physician schedules
• Recognize when clinical concerns need to be escalated to the physician or manager
• Communicate professionally and compassionately with children, parents, and caregivers
• Follow established clinical protocols and practice procedures

Team Support

Because we are a small, team-oriented practice, all staff members may occasionally assist outside of their primary role when coverage is needed. This may include basic front-office support such as answering phones, scheduling, check-in/check-out, or insurance verification.

Qualifications

• Previous ophthalmology or ophthalmic technician experience strongly preferred
• Pediatric ophthalmology experience is a plus, but not required
• Bilingual English/Spanish strongly preferred
• Comfortable working with children of all ages
• Strong computer and EHR skills
• Dependable, punctual, organized, and able to multitask
• Able to work independently and take initiative
• Strong attention to detail and clinical judgment
• Professional, positive, and team-oriented
• Willing to learn pediatric ophthalmology protocols and specialty workflows

COA or COT certification is a plus but is not required.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who does more than simply complete assigned tasks. The ideal candidate is attentive, proactive, reliable, and able to recognize when something needs to be addressed or escalated.

We value team members who communicate well, follow through on responsibilities, and take pride in providing excellent patient care.

Compensation

$22-$28 per hour, depending on ophthalmology experience, certification, bilingual skills, and overall qualifications.

Benefits may include health insurance, paid holidays, PTO, 401(k), uniforms, continuing education, and certification support.
