OPTOMETRIST CARDIFF

Optometrist Opportunities – Domiciliary Care

About the Role

We are currently recruiting for passionate Optometrists to join a leading provider of domiciliary optical care, delivering clinically excellent services directly to patients in their own homes.

This is a unique opportunity to move away from the traditional high street setting and provide truly patient-centred care in a more relaxed, meaningful environment. With longer appointment times and a strong focus on quality over volume, you’ll have the time and autonomy to make a genuine difference in people’s lives.

You’ll be working at the forefront of mobile eye care, using advanced portable equipment and digital systems to deliver a seamless and highly professional service to patients who may otherwise struggle to access care.

The Role in Practice

• Conduct comprehensive eye examinations in patients’ homes, typically seeing 6–7 patients per day
• Benefit from extended 1-hour appointments, allowing for thorough assessments and meaningful patient interaction
• Build strong relationships and deliver a gold-standard patient experience
• Work with full clinical autonomy, supported remotely by an experienced senior optometry team
• Use state-of-the-art portable equipment and fully digital record systems (no paperwork)
• Be part of a service that supports vital NHS pathways and improves accessibility to care

What Makes This Opportunity Different

This role offers a refreshing alternative to high street optometry, with a strong emphasis on flexibility, work-life balance, and professional trust.

• No weekend working
• Flexible working patterns (4 or 5 days per week)
• Autonomous role with full clinical support when needed
• Opportunity to make a real impact on patients who rely on domiciliary care

Training & Support

• Full equipment provided, including training to ensure confidence before working independently
• Ongoing clinical support and access to senior professionals for advice or second opinions
• Dedicated time and investment in CPD and further qualifications

What We’re Looking For

We’re keen to speak with Optometrists who are:

• GOC registered and confident in delivering high-quality clinical care
• Passionate about improving access to eye care and supporting vulnerable patients
• Comfortable working independently while remaining connected to a wider clinical team
• Strong communicators who enjoy building meaningful patient relationships
• Looking for a more flexible, rewarding way of working

What’s on Offer

• Market-leading salary of up to £74,000 (dependent on experience)
• Monthly bonus/commission structure
• Fully expensed company car (for business and personal use)
• Flexible full-time or part-time contracts
• 33 days holiday (including bank holidays)
• No weekends
• GOC fees paid
• Private medical insurance
• Life assurance
• Generous pension scheme (matched up to 5%)
• Access to employee wellbeing support programme
• Support with higher qualifications and professional development
• Free CPD events
• Employee discount scheme
• High-quality, lightweight equipment for efficient home visits
