OutsideClinic staff share their experiences
-
Having the flexibility to work part-time means that I get a good work-life balance. On the days I work, I enjoy my work but on the days that I don't I can take a step back and I can do the things I love - like spending time with my boys.

OutsideClinic has given me the opportunity to achieve my qualification which helps me in my day-to-day role and helped me gain better knowledge and understanding of my profession.

Since our acquisition by Optimism Health Group, we have grown and grown, and you can tell that the company cares more about our well-being and that this is considered in everyday interactions.

I love working for the OutsideClinic, for the work-life balance that it gives me – with weekend off I can play cricket. I’ve played for my cricket club for about 20 years now and been captain for nearly 13 years. I also do lots of charity events which is often over weekends.

Moving into a new vehicle revolution
As the UK’s leading home eye and hearing care provider, we are continuing our ambition to ensure our domiciliary service is as green as possible.
Earlier this year, we began a £2.2m project to replace our existing fleet of vehicles, used predominantly by our clinicians, with electric equivalents.
Since then, we’ve replaced more than 77 vehicles and installed 90 charging points at the homes of our professionals.
