Domiciliary Optometrist - Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Up to £70,000 + Bonus Monday-Friday Only Proper Work-Life Balance

At Inspired Recruitment Group, we understand that stepping away from the high street-or even just thinking about a new opportunity-can feel like a big decision. That's why we keep things strictly confidential, pressure-free, and at your pace. If you're an experienced Optometrist who's ready for a more rewarding and balanced way of working, this could be just the move you've been waiting for.

What's On Offer

• Up to £70,000 basic salary
• Bonus structure that recognises your impact, not just your output
• Monday to Friday only, 8:30am-5:30pm - no evenings, no weekends
• Private medical insurance
• 33 days' annual leave (pro-rata)
• GOC fees & indemnity fully covered
• All equipment provided and maintained - you just bring your expertise

The Role

This is a genuinely fulfilling opportunity to deliver high-quality care to patients in care homes and similar settings - away from the retail pressure of the high street. You'll be supported by a skilled dispenser, giving you the space to focus entirely on clinical care.

You'll be:

• Carrying out thorough sight tests following clear clinical guidelines
• Providing helpful advice on vision, lens options and eye health
• Communicating clearly with patients, care staff and families
• Helping supervise and support your team when needed
• Maintaining confidentiality and professionalism at all times

What We're Looking For

• GOC-registered Optometrist with minimum 1 year post-qualified experience
• Excellent interpersonal skills - empathetic, calm, and patient-centred
• Strong understanding of NHS regulations and professional compliance
• Open-minded, positive, and able to adapt to different care settings
• Domiciliary experience welcome, but not essential

Why This Role?

This is more than a job - it's a chance to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable and elderly patients who need your care. If you want a role where you're trusted, supported, and valued - this is it.

Next Steps

We know this sort of move isn't for everyone - but if it's something you're even curious about, let's have a confidential, friendly chat. No hard sell. No pressure. Just a real conversation about what could be next for you.
