Optician - Eyewear Consultant - Vision Care Clinic

Midwest Eye Consultants Optician Opportunity

If you like working with people, having a creative eye, solving problems, and helping someone walk out feeling great, you might really like being an Optician at Midwest Eye Consultants.

This isn't a job where you're sitting behind a desk all day. You'll work directly with patients, help them find eyewear that fits their vision, lifestyle, personality, and budget, and become someone they trust for their eyewear needs.

You'll be part eyewear stylist, part problem-solver, and part patient advocate.

You'll help patients:

• Find frames that look and feel like them
• Understand their prescription and the lens options recommended by their doctor
• Choose the right combination of frames and lenses for their lifestyle
• Get comfortable with their new eyewear and know how to take care of it
• Troubleshoot concerns and make adjustments or repairs when needed

Behind the scenes, you'll also keep things moving by handling insurance eligibility and co-pays, placing and tracking optical orders, working with the lab, maintaining inventory, and keeping the optical area looking great.

You'll build relationships with patients along the waynot just complete transactions. The goal is for patients to leave feeling confident in both their eyewear and the person who helped them choose it.

Start at $15/hour, with the opportunity to grow your skills and your paycheck through our company-paid certification program.

Plus, you'll have access to:

• Approximately 8 days of PTO in your first year
• 6.5 paid holidays per year
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• Company-supported professional development and certification
• Opportunities to increase your skills, responsibilities, and earning potential

If you're someone who enjoys talking to people and building genuine relationships, has a good eye for style and likes helping people find what works for them, can balance creativity with attention to detail, likes figuring things out when something doesn't go as planned, takes pride in providing a great customer experience, wants a job where you're doing something different throughout the day, is looking for an opportunity to learn and grownot just punch a clock...

...you could be a great fit here.

No two patients are exactly alike, and that's what makes the job interesting.

This is a professional medical office environment, so you'll spend much of your day standing and walking, along with some typing, stooping, grasping, and hands-on work with eyewear and equipment.

You'll need to be able to regularly lift up to 15 pounds from floor to waist, 5 pounds from waist to shoulder, and 5 pounds from shoulder to overhead. Good visual and verbal acuity, manual dexterity, and attention to detail are important to the work.

Ready for a job where you can use your people skills, creativity, and problem-solving skills every day? We'd love to meet you.
