Domiciliary Optometrist Role, Bedford

We are currently recruiting in partnership with one of the UK's market leaders in Domiciliary eye care for an Optometrist to join their team covering the Bedford area.

This role will predominantly be based out of nursing/care homes, providing eye care to those patients who are unable to travel for their routine eye test.

As a result, there is a real community focus to the role and would appeal to Optometrists who are keen to give back to the community and ensure that no one gets left behind in their eye health needs.

You will be supported at all times by an experienced Dispensing Optician or Optical Assistant, with all equipment provided and a fully paperless patient management system & records.

Furthermore, you will receive support from your line manager & Head Office, with your diary pre-planned in advance so you know what your schedule is prior to the working day.

Options for both full or part-time are available, with days available from Monday-Friday with no weekend and evening work offering a work-life balance that is a real scarcity in Optics.

This role offers a fantastic remuneration package as well as flexible working hours, alongside a really rewarding day-day job and would suit an Optometrist keen to make a real difference to people's lives.
