About the Opportunity
This is an opportunity to practise optometry in the way many clinicians originally set out to - with time, autonomy and genuine patient connection.
You'll be joining a family-run domiciliary optician delivering high-quality eye care directly to patients in a care home setting. The focus is on continuity of care, clinical freedom and accessibility, rather than testing volumes or rigid KPIs.

Work one-to-one with patients in a calm, unhurried environment
Supported by a Dispensing Optician on visits, allowing you to focus on clinical care
Build long-term relationships with patients, families and care teams
Be part of a small, close-knit team where your input and experience are genuinely valued
