More than just an eye test
For over 35 years, we’ve been bringing eye care to people in the comfort of their own homes. As an OutsideClinic Optometrist, you’ll have the time to get to know your patients, provide personalised clinical care and make a real difference to people who may otherwise struggle to access care.
It’s a different way of working, with the support of a team around you and the opportunity to make a difference every day.
Why Optometrists choose OutsideClinic
Latest equipment
You may be mobile but your optics equipment will rival any high street practice (digital fundus camera, mobile slit lamp, I-care tonometer) and our industry-leading digital records system means no paperwork.
Unrivalled flexibility
We don’t work weekends at OutsideClinic and you can choose the number of days you work too, allowing you to spend more time with family and on hobbies.
Time to make a difference
We listen and get to know our patients needs - never forgetting the privilege it is to be invited into their home. We make time for them by giving you longer appointments, so you have the space to make a real difference.
Peer support
You are trusted to make autonomous decisions, but if you ever need a second opinion you can get one in minutes from the friendly optometrists in our always-available Professional Services Team - our ‘optometrists next door’.

Patient scheduling
Our efficient head office team manages your patient appointments, ensuring you stay within a 50-mile radius of your home. We’ll adjust your schedule as needed, accommodating traffic or appointment overruns to keep your day running smoothly.
