Optometrist, Robert Frith Optometrists, Dorset

This great opportunity allows an optometrist to feel at the heart of the team and make a difference in a practice that is patient focussed, fully independent and continues to invest in equipment and staff. 

The Robert Frith practice in Shaftesbury is part of a group of 12, all with their individual approach to eyecare. The director is keen to support all staff in developing their professional skills and being a Therapeutic Optometrist with Diploma in Glaucoma, you will have excellent support available to you when needed. 

With opening hours of 8.45am-5.00pm, the practice is open 6 days a week, with no Sunday or bank holiday work. 

Computerised test charts, topographers and OCT machines are present with a constant drive to improve the patient experience. Free on-site parking is also available. Based in Shaftesbury, a lovely market town in North Dorset, the practice is 30 minutes from the Wiltshire city of Salisbury and not to far to drive to the picturesque Jurassic coastline. There are plenty of places to explore and beautiful countryside to live in with great schools around for those considering escaping to the country.

We are looking for an enthusiastic optometrist to join the practice, ideally on a full time basis, however part-time and regular locum days would also be considered. Ideally, you would have or be interesting in completing your therapeutic prescribing course as well as being comfortable with all aspects of contact lenses with the option to fit orthokeratology and myopia control lenses. There is a small but friendly team in the practice, all with big ambitions to help the practice continue to grow and we want you to be a part of this exciting journey.
