Optometrist, SpaMedica Southampton

SpaMedica is the UK’s largest independent sector provider of ophthalmology services, with 48 eye hospitals across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. We employ over 100 specially trained optometrists who lead our outpatient clinics, working closely with consultant ophthalmologists and other healthcare professionals, and are looking for more dedicated optometrists to join us as we continue to grow. Our hospital optometrists are at the receiving end of high street referrals, with responsibility for diagnosing eye conditions and making decisions about patient treatment.

It is a rewarding role which will suit someone looking for variety in the week, and who prefers a more clinical role to high street practice. Full training and ongoing support are provided, with a career ladder ahead of the successful applicant. Enjoy a better work-life balance with less weekend work and the ability to work from home with certain roles. If you’re looking to develop on your clinical portfolio, greater job satisfaction and to join our tight-nit optometry team, please reach out to me.
