Optometric Assistant

VisionFirst is a local, employee-owned eye care provider with 18 locations in Kentucky and Indiana. We are more than just an eye care provider; we are part of the community. And we're looking for someone great to join the team.

What You'll Do

You'll be a key part of our patient experience - greeting people, prepping them for exams, conducting pre-tests, and ensuring that every patient has a great experience. No two days look exactly alike. Some key job duties include:

• Use diagnostic equipment and perform preliminary testing
• Prepare patients for their eye exams by performing medical history intake
• Guide patients through their visit with warmth and professionalism
• Keep patient records accurate and up to date
• Assist with various in-office procedures that ensure organized and efficient patient flow

What We're Looking For

• Friendly, people-first personality
• Detail-oriented and organized under pressure
• Team player who is dependable and takes ownership
• Prior optometry or medical office experience is a plus, but we'll train the right person

Why VisionFirst Is Different

We are locally operated, but also employee-owned. That means you'll be a part of a culture where your hard work and dedication to great patient care not only contributes to the success of the practice, but also to your own future. Through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), our employees grow with the company. Benefits include:

• Generous paid time off including up to three weeks of PTO and paid holidays
• ESOP and 401k
• Medical insurance, including employer HSA contributions
• Dental insurance
• Company-paid life insurance with supplemental insurance available
• Free eye exam and glasses
