Optometrist

Licensed Optometrist Opportunity

20/20 Onsite is the leader in mobile vision care. Since 2014, our Mobile Vision Clinics have provided eye care to over 75,000 patients at their workplaces, schools and neighborhoods. In May 2020, we expanded our services to provide vital access to clinical trial assessments and tests, bringing uniquely equipped Mobile Clinics directly to participants. Our focus is "radical patient-centricity," prioritizing the patient experience, minimizing time and distance barriers.

20/20 Onsite also brings free, comprehensive eye exams and glasses directly to students where they learn removing the transportation, cost, and scheduling barriers that keep kids from getting the vision care they need to succeed in school.

The Opportunity

20/20 Onsite is seeking a licensed optometrist to provide comprehensive eye exams to students in Boston Public Schools. This is a full-time, temporary contracted position running through June 2027. Exams are conducted either aboard our mobile vision clinic or on-site within school buildings. Every student we see receives a free eye exam, and any student who needs corrective lenses receives a free pair of glasses.

This role is a great fit for an optometrist looking for meaningful, community-based full-time work for the remainder of the school year.

• Comfortable and experienced working with pediatric patients.
• Reliable and punctual, with strong communication skills.
