Hello! We are looking for an incredible individual with optometric experience to join us at our beautiful new boutique optometry clinic in a gorgeous area of town. If you love people, health care, fashion, aesthetics, frames, service, this position is for you!
This is a unique opportunity to be part of a brand-new office and help shape its culture from the beginning. We value genuine connections, thoughtful service, great sense of humour and creating a space where both patients and staff feel comfortable and inspired.
