Optometrist

Hadleigh, Suffolk

£45,000 to £65,000

A well-established independent clinic is hiring an Optometrist into a genuinely patient-focused setting.

No retail pressure. No high-volume testing.

Just proper clinical work, autonomy, and time with patients.

The Role

Deliver high-quality eye care in a relaxed, private practice environment

Comprehensive eye examinations

Diagnosis and management of visual conditions

Clear, patient-focused advice and treatment planning

Accurate clinical record keeping in line with GOC standards

Collaboration with dispensing and audiology colleagues

Contribution to the ongoing development of clinical services

You are not rushed. You are not target-driven. You control the standard of care.

Proper work-life balance

The Company
