Clinical Optometrist Opportunity, Sevenoaks / £70,000 / IP Candidates preferable / 45 minute testing times An exciting opportunity has become available for a qualified Independent Prescribing Optometrist to join a well-established and highly respected independent optical group across the Kent area. Vacancies are currently available across: <ul> <li>Edenbridge</li> <li>Tunbridge Wells</li> <li>Sevenoaks</li> </ul> The business is particularly keen to speak with qualified IP Optometrists who are passionate about delivering enhanced clinical care within a community-focused environment. This is an excellent opportunity for an Optometrist seeking a clinically driven role with access to modern equipment, supportive teams, and the chance to work within a practice group that genuinely prioritises patient care About the Group This independent optical group has built an excellent reputation for combining high clinical standards with exceptional customer care across its practices. The business focuses heavily on community-led optics, investing in modern technology and enhanced services while maintaining a personalised and welcoming patient experience. Patients are offered longer appointment times, tailored recommendations, and continuity of care, creating a rewarding environment for clinicians who value quality over volume. The practices are modern, well-equipped, and supported by experienced dispensing and optical support teams. What your day will look like! As the resident Optometrist, your role will involve a mixture of routine eye care, enhanced clinical services, and ongoing patient management. Day-to-day responsibilities will include: <ul> <li>Conducting comprehensive eye examinations</li> <li>Managing enhanced clinical and IP-related cases</li> <li>Providing contact lens appointments and aftercare</li> <li>Advising patients on eye health and treatment plans</li> <li>Working closely with Dispensing Opticians and support teams</li> <li>Managing referrals and follow-up care where appropriate</li> <li>Maintaining accurate and compliant patient records</li> <li>Supporting patients through their full clinical journey</li> <li>Building strong long-term relationships with patients</li> </ul> The practices place a strong emphasis on patient-centred care, clinical autonomy, and professional development.

Opening Hours Typical opening hours are: <ul> <li>Monday - Friday: 9:00am - 5:30pm</li> <li>Saturday: 9:00am - 5:00pm</li> <li>Closed Sundays</li> </ul> Flexibility on rota and working pattern may be discussed for the right candidate.
