This is a rare opportunity to take over an established and loyal patient base within a thriving community practice. The current resident Optometrist has been with the practice since it opened six years ago and is only leaving due to relocation, creating a fantastic opportunity for someone to build on the strong relationships and reputation already in place. The practice is typically booked two to three weeks in advance and offers 45-minute appointments, giving you the time to deliver thorough, personalised eye care without feeling rushed. You will have access to a full suite of the latest refraction and diagnostic technology, alongside support from a knowledgeable and dedicated team who will enable you to focus on the clinical side of the role.
