JVP Optometrist Opportunities – Domiciliary Care

About the Role

We are currently recruiting for passionate JVP Optometrists to join a leading provider of domiciliary optical care, delivering clinically excellent services directly to patients in their own homes.

This is a unique opportunity to move away from the traditional high street setting and provide truly patient-centred care in a more relaxed, meaningful environment. With longer appointment times and a strong focus on quality over volume, you’ll have the time and autonomy to make a genuine difference in people’s lives.

You’ll be working at the forefront of mobile eye care, using advanced portable equipment and digital systems to deliver a seamless and highly professional service to patients who may otherwise struggle to access care.

The Role in Practice

Conduct comprehensive eye examinations in patients’ homes, typically seeing 6–7 patients per day
Benefit from extended 1-hour appointments, allowing for thorough assessments and meaningful patient interaction
Build strong relationships and deliver a gold-standard patient experience
Work with full clinical autonomy, supported remotely by an experienced senior optometry team
Use state-of-the-art portable equipment and fully digital record systems (no paperwork)
Be part of a service that supports vital NHS pathways and improves accessibility to care

What Makes This Opportunity Different

This role offers a refreshing alternative to high street optometry, with a strong emphasis on flexibility, work-life balance, and professional trust.

No weekend working
Flexible working patterns (4 or 5 days per week)
Autonomous role with full clinical support when needed
Opportunity to make a real impact on patients who rely on domiciliary care

Training & Support

Full equipment provided, including training to ensure confidence before working independently
Ongoing clinical support and access to senior professionals for advice or second opinions
Dedicated time and investment in CPD and further qualifications

The opportunity

As a joint venture partner in North Wales, you will be free to do what you do best, visiting patients in their homes in various settings, including private homes, care homes or sheltered accommodation. You will have access to industry-leading equipment to help you perform quality eye care, ensuring that the most vulnerable in our society are not left behind.

Partners have access to a steady flow of patients and the flexibility to manage their day, with the freedom to be out and about rather than tied to a testing room all the time. In addition, being a partner allows you to use your clinical expertise and develop further through OutsideClinic's industry-leading professional development programme.

Our partnerships are open to all optometrists, wherever they are in their journey. If you are a patient-centred individual passionate about delivering eye care to those who most need our help, this could be an opportunity for you.

The package

As a joint venture partner, you do optometry and we do the rest. We give you the flexibility to manage your own day, the time and support needed to deliver excellent care and the vast range of benefits that come with a career at OutsideClinic. These include:

Guaranteed client acquisition
Industry-leading technology
The opportunity to use your clinical expertise and develop it further through our CPD programme
Comprehensive business mentoring and development support
Sales, marketing and accountancy support
HR, legal and contracts support
Customer services support
Patient and diary management
Clinical and administrative support provided by our award-winning professional services team
The choice to work three, four or five days a week
Weekends and bank holidays off

What We’re Looking For

We’re keen to speak with Optometrists who are:

GOC registered and confident in delivering high-quality clinical care
Passionate about improving access to eye care and supporting vulnerable patients
Comfortable working independently while remaining connected to a wider clinical team
Strong communicators who enjoy building meaningful patient relationships
Looking for a more flexible, rewarding way of working

Interested?

If you’re looking for a role that combines clinical excellence with real impact — giving you the time, flexibility, and support to deliver outstanding care — we’d love to hear from you.
