We are looking for a new team member for a full time position to join our team. If you are a friendly, outgoing person who loves to help others, we would love to chat. Experience in the optometric world would be icing on the cake, but ultimately we are looking for a good fit for our clinic and can train in-house.
We are local, co-owning optometrists, with over 20 years combined experience in the industry. We are looking for someone to join our team as we move into our 4th year of operation and who can help us continue to build our vision of a community-oriented, family friendly, inclusive, full scope independent optometry clinic. The ideal candidate would be considered energetic, caring, dedicated, professional, tech savvy, and have exceptional interpersonal and time management skills. The brilliant part of our field is that you get to help patients of all ages maintain their best vision and also get to help discover their best frame style (in a no pressure environment).
We are a smaller boutique style clinic, so a willingness to be cross-trained in different areas around the office is a must. We are located at beautiful Mattick's Farm, serviced by BC Transit Route #32 and the Lockside Trail. Parking is free.
