Could home visits suit you?
If you love the idea of taking your clinical skills into the community, Home Visits could be just what you're looking for. You'll spend your day travelling around a local area, visiting people who can't make it into a store, and seeing first-hand the difference you make in their own environment. Working alongside an experienced Optical Assistant at each visit, you'll have the time and space to focus on what matters - truly understanding your patients' needs and helping them live life more comfortably. Every day brings variety, meaningful moments, and the chance to make a real impact right where people need it most.
