Optometrist Vacancy – Simmons Optometrists, Oakham
If you are looking for great clinical variety, time to care, and a practice that puts people first, we would love to hear from you!
At Simmons Optometrists, we've been part of the Oakham community since 1974, building a reputation for exceptional eyecare, genuine relationships and clinical excellence.
We're looking for an experienced, enthusiastic Optometrist to join our friendly independent practice. With 45–60 minute appointments, advanced diagnostic technology and opportunities to get involved in specialist services, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves the clinical side of optometry and wants the freedom to make a real difference.
We value curiosity, collaboration and fresh ideas, and would love to welcome someone who shares our passion for outstanding patient care. Looking for a better work-life balance? We offer flexible full-time or part-time opportunities, 28 days' holiday plus our Christmas-to-New-Year closure, and no Sunday working.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
