Full-Time, Permanent
On behalf of our client—the UK’s leading private provider of laser eye, premium intraocular lens, and cataract surgery—we are seeking a skilled and forward-thinking Optometrist to join their multidisciplinary clinical team.
This is a fantastic opportunity to step away from traditional high-street retail optics and move into a specialist, state-of-the-art clinical environment. Working across modern consultation clinics in both Swindon and Bath, you will collaborate closely with experienced Ophthalmologists and eye care professionals.
The Role
No two days are the same in this dynamic clinical role. You will play a crucial part in delivering a diverse range of advanced eye care services.
Key Responsibilities
- Specialist Consultations: Conduct thorough pre- and post-operative consultations for refractive and cataract surgery patients.
- Clinical Collaboration: Provide vital clinical support to world-class Ophthalmologists.
- Eye Examinations: Perform comprehensive Essential and Advanced Eye Examinations using market-leading diagnostic technology (including Carl Zeiss and Johnson & Johnson Vision).
- Patient Journeys: Guide patients through their surgical journey, providing expert advice and outstanding clinical care.
