Feeling like a change, how about Napier?
We have just listed a new Optometrist vacancy in Napier, NZ's Art Deco Capital.
https://www.hawkesbaynz.com/
This is a full-time role (Mon-Fri) with a start date as soon as you are able. The salary range will be $ 120k to $130k per annum, depending on experience.
The practice has all the Optometry equipment you would expect.
Located in the CBD of Napier
The Hawke's Bay community has a strong aged/elderly population, so there will be a lot of pathology work.
The practice also specializes in high-end eyewear.
There is also a qualified DO on site
There will also be an opportunity to discuss buying into the practice after a 3-to 6-month period, if this is what you are looking for. But there is no expectation around this.
To apply, you will need a minimum of 2 years of Optometry experience. You also must have a current APC.
