Job Description :

Flame Health Optometry - Optometrist Job - Exeter:

Our client are the largest and longest established national provider of home eye testing services, bringing urgently needed optometric services to those individuals who are unable to attend the High Street practitioner unattended.

They have an excellent opportunity in the Exeter area. If you would like to put your skills to the test and make a real difference to the quality of someone’s life, then this role could be for you. With benefits to include weekends free, company car with satellite navigator, and some of the industry’s highest pay scales, working for this company can be highly rewarding, both professionally and financially.

The particular role is for a ‘Super’ Optometrist which is unique in the optical profession and is only available through this company. It has been developed due to the increase in the current number of home visits. As the services of a dispenser are usually not required, the company is able to pay the optometrist the allocated dispensing fee.

It is therefore the combination of the standard sight test payment and the additional dispensing fee that makes the Super Optometrist one of the most attractive salaried positions currently available in the profession. Furthermore, as the average number of patients seen in a day is considerably less than seen in practice, the optometrist is allowed ample time for both professional functions.

Our client is also able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement allowing the Optometrist to achieve a happy work/life balance, e.g. a four-day week as well as accommodate all levels of experience and length of time qualified.

The key features of the Super Optometrist position are:

Basic Salary (depending on experience), £30,000 - £50,000 pa,
Dispensing Fee 5% - 7.5%- 10% of all spectacle sales (Current Annual Average £21,000)
CET Diabetic Accreditation
CET Cataract Referral Accreditation
Company Private Pension Scheme matched up to 5% gross salary contribution.
