Optometrist wanted!
4-5 days per week - independent practice - Sydenham
The Opportunity
My client is a long-established, family-owned independent practice located in Sydenham. We are looking for a patient-focused Optometrist to join our team 4-5 days per week as we move away from reliance on locums and return to a consistent, relationship-led model of care.
This is an opportunity for an Optometrist who values clinical freedom, continuity of care, and being part of a close-knit team.
We are now seeking a permanent Optometrist who can:
" Deliver consistent, relationship-based care
" Build long-term patient rapport
" Strengthen clinical and commercial performance
" Support a stable and collaborative team environment
About the Practice
" 2 testing rooms (second room also used for audiology and contact lenses when not double testing)
" High street location with 3 parking spaces and excellent transport links
" 40-minute adult test times / 30-minute children's tests
" No pre-screening - all testing carried out in-room
" No phoropter - trial frame, patient-focused refraction
" OCT, visual fields, slit lamp, manual focimeter
" Eyecare tonometry (pressures taken in-room)
This is a supportive, values-led environment with a strong emphasis on quality over volume.
The Role
" Deliver comprehensive eye examinations.
" Provide contact lens services
" Maintain a strong clinical standard
" Work collaboratively with the dispensing team
" Drive patient satisfaction and appropriate clinical-to-dispensing conversion (target 60-70%)
The Ideal Candidate
We are open to both newly qualified and experienced Optometrists.
You will be:
" Clinically confident and patient-focused
" Commercially aware without being sales-driven
" Comfortable managing the full patient journey in-room
" Keen to work in a truly independent setting
" Looking for stability rather than long-term locum work
We are particularly interested in candidates who value independence and clinical autonomy, rather than a high-volume corporate environment.
Salary & Benefits
" Up to 62,000 depending on experience
" 28 days holiday including Bank Holidays
" Additional time off at Christmas
" Easter Saturday off
" Your birthday off
" GOC & ABDO fees paid
" Indemnity insurance covered
" CET courses provided
" Sponsorship for further qualifications
