Optometric Assistant

About the role
Job Description:
Hillsboro Vision Clinic is a bustling four doctor Optometric practice looking for a new team member. If you have previous eye care skills, that’s great! If you do not, we will have you up and running in a week and over the course of a few months you can master all tasks. What we can’t train is personality and attitude. It's a fast-paced position and we are looking for someone who can work quickly, efficiently and multitask. If you think you have what it takes to join our team, we would love to hear from you. Please send your resume along with a cover letter to tell us why you think you would be a good fit.
Qualifications:
We need caring individuals who are personable, reliable, willing to learn, flexible, empathetic and work well with fellow team members. The ability to speak Spanish is a desirable skill but not necessary.
Duties and Responsibilities:
The job of the Optometric Assistant is to pre-test the patients prior to the doctors seeing them. We are a very technology driven practice and you will be learning to use many pieces of equipment only found in eye care.
As you move patients through the pre-testing process, making them feel at ease with the process is one of your most important tasks.
Cleaning rooms, seating patients, ordering contact lenses and/or supplies is also part of your day.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
