Part Time Optometrist​ - Job Description

Part-time – Permanent position 

We are looking for an optometrist to join our fabulous bunch at Patrick & Menzies.

All our branches use OCT, and at Braintree we also have Optomap. These are included as standard in our private eye examination, and offered as an extra to our NHS appointments. We also use Icare tonometers or Reichert Tono-Vera instead of NCTs.

We’re lucky to benefit from low staff turnover and we think that reflects about the way we care for our people.
