Job Overview

Flame Health Optometry is working with an independent optician to recruit a part-time Optometrist in South Birmingham. The position is four days per week, with a salary of £40,000–£50,000 per annum depending on experience. It could suit a newly qualified practitioner as well as an established Optometrist looking for a patient-focused role with scope to contribute to the development of the practice.

About the Job

You will provide eye examinations in an independent practice serving a mixed patient base, with appointments typically lasting 25–30 minutes. The position is based in a single testing clinic, and you will work alongside a qualified Dispensing Optician and the wider support team.

The work may include diabetic screening, which is preferred but not essential. Contact lens experience is also welcomed, and in-house training is available if required. Alongside your clinical work, the practice is looking for someone willing to contribute beyond the test room and take an active interest in helping the business develop. The clinic is described as relaxed, with quality equipment and an established patient base.

About the Employer

Our client is an independent optician in South Birmingham. The practice offers a single-clinic setting and serves a mixed patient base, with a qualified Dispensing Optician and support team working alongside the Optometrist.

The environment is described as relaxed, and the role offers the chance to contribute to the practice’s development as well as deliver patient care. Longer-term progression opportunities are available, making this a potential option for someone seeking to build their experience within an independent practice.

What We Are Looking For

You must be a fully qualified Optometrist registered with the General Optical Council. Diabetic screening experience is preferred, although it is not essential. Contact lens experience would be useful, and training can be provided in-house where needed.

The practice is seeking a patient-focused practitioner with strong communication skills who is comfortable working collaboratively with the Dispensing Optician and support team. You should be willing to take a hands-on approach beyond the testing room and interested in contributing to the development of the business. The opportunity is open to newly qualified candidates as well as Optometrists with more experience.

Who This Role Suits

This position may suit a newly qualified Optometrist ready to develop in practice, or an experienced clinician looking for a part-time move into an independent setting. It will appeal to someone who values patient care, enjoys working closely with colleagues and wants to have a practical part in the continuing development of the practice.
