If you love your job but are a bit bored, if you love working with patients but want a new challenge, then this role might be for you.

In domiciliary, job satisfaction is a daily occurrence. Putting a smile on our patients faces or having a chat to break up their day makes you feel so good.

The job is varied: you’ll work in a range of locations and testing environments every day – no two days are the same. Our region stretches from Berwick to Saltburn and over to the west coast, but our ever-expanding team is scattered across the region so we will always aim to keep you as close to home as possible.

With more 1 on 1 time spent with patients in the place where they feel comfortable, you can really cater to their needs and make them feel as important as we know they really are!

You will need a minimum of 6 months optical experience and a full UK driving licence to be considered for this role.
