Part Time, 3 Days - Hampton, VIC Optometrist Opportunity (3 Days) Hampton, Melbourne VIC Some practices recruit constantly. Others… almost never. This is one of those practices. Hampton Eyecare has built a reputation over decades for delivering thoughtful, patient-first care - and for keeping their team. With one of their long-standing Optometrists now retiring, an opportunity has opened to step into a well-established patient base within a genuinely stable and respected practice. The Role 3 days per week: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 9:00am - 5:30pm No weekends. No late nights. Mid-June start This is a full-scope clinical role where you’ll have the autonomy to practice properly - not within the constraints of retail KPIs, but with the time and trust to do what’s right for your patients. The Practice Environment Patient-driven, not retail-driven Therapeutics and strong GP referral network 3 consulting rooms with a collaborative clinical culture Experienced Optometrists who value case discussion and shared learning There’s a genuine balance here: autonomy in your consulting room, with support and clinical camaraderie when you want it. What You’ll Be Doing Delivering comprehensive eye examinations and ongoing care Building your own patient base over time Taking an active role in the full patient journey - including dispensing Developing strong, long-term relationships within the local community If you enjoy continuity of care and actually seeing the outcome of your clinical decisions, this will feel like a refreshing change. About You 1 years’ experience (not suited to new graduates) Comfortable practising across full-scope optometry Keen to be involved in the patient journey beyond the consulting room Values clinical autonomy and long-term patient relationships Therapeutically endorsed Nice to have (but not essential): Experience in advanced contact lens fitting Interest in aviation eye examinations - the retiring Optometrist previously supported this area, and the practice would welcome someone open to continuing it with further training A Practice That Invests in the Profession The team has longstanding ties with both University of Melbourne and Deakin University, with teaching experience and ongoing involvement in optometry education. It’s a practice that contributes to the profession - not just operates within it. This is the kind of role people tend to stay in for years.
