Hampton, Melbourne VIC
Optometrist Opportunity (3 Days) – Hampton, VIC
Part Time, 3 Days - Hampton, VIC
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.
