Optometrist Opportunity (3 Days)
Hampton Eyecare, Melbourne VIC
Some practices recruit constantly. Others… almost never.
This is one of those practices.
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.
