About the Role
Enhanced Optometry Services is looking for a friendly and enthusiastic clinical assistant to join our Colchester clinic, on a fixed-term maternity cover contract until April 2027. The role is offered on a part-time basis, for 30 hours a week, Monday to Thursday.
As a clinical assistant, you will be the first point of contact for our patients, helping to ensure they receive a welcoming and professional experience throughout their visit. Your responsibilities will include carrying out preliminary clinical assessments such as measuring visual acuity, performing visual field testing, and obtaining diagnostic images using OCT. You will also explain the appointment process to patients, support the smooth day-to-day running of the clinic, and assist with patient enquiries and appointment bookings.
This is a varied and rewarding role, working closely with our clinical team to deliver high-quality specialist eye care.

Full training will be provided. Previous experience in an optical practice, healthcare, or clinical environment would be advantageous, but most importantly, you will have a genuine interest in eye care and ocular science and a commitment to delivering outstanding patient care.
