Job Description

The ideal candidate will be a team player who is able to assist in the optical based on the changing day-to-day needs of the clinic.

The growth expectation for this position is to become a contributing team member in the optical helping patients choose appropriate eyewear and lens combinations serving in a hybrid front desk/optician role. Compensation range based on experience with planned increases as team member increases optical responsibilities. Health, dental, retirement, and bonus structure provided.
