Vision Therapist Assistant

The Center for Vision Development is seeking a passionate part-time vision therapist assistant to join our team.

We’re looking for someone who is not only eager to learn but truly loves connecting with people of all ages—kids, teens, and adults alike. The ideal candidate is someone who is organized, reliable, takes initiative, and finds genuine joy in supporting others.

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re proactive, a quick learner, and looking for more clinical or patient experience.

About Us

Founded in 2004, we are the longest-established vision therapy practice in Austin. Our team is led by highly trained developmental optometrists who specialize in vision therapy and are deeply committed to patient-centered care. We proudly serve patients of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

Our vision therapists come from a wide range of fields—including nursing, tutoring, nutrition, caregiving, exercise science, and medical administration. We value diverse perspectives and experiences, and we believe they strengthen the care we provide. What unites our team is simple: we truly love working with people.

We are a supportive, collaborative group that takes pride in our professionalism, the quality of our care, and the long-term relationships we build with our patients and their families. While we are highly organized and efficient, we never compromise on warmth or personal connection. Our “minimum standard” is often viewed as going above and beyond—and that’s the level of excellence we strive for every day.

Communication, growth, and shared success are core to our culture. We encourage team members to voice their ideas, ask questions, and collaborate. We are goal-oriented and offer incentives and rewards based on productivity and the achievement of both individual and team goals.

We are open 5 days a week, Monday through Friday.
