Why choose OutsideClinic?
Over 35 years ago, we founded OutsideClinic with a clear mission: to make clinically excellent eye care accessible and affordable for everyone. Now, with a vision to become the UK’s best-loved community healthcare brand, we’re committed to delivering personalised care that truly changes lives. If you share our passion for making a difference and want to provide gold-standard eye care in the comfort of patients’ homes, we’d love to hear from you.
An amazing place to work
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’.
