Part-Time Optometric Assistant / Receptionist

Looking for a smart, friendly, mentally and physically healthy, motivated, and fast-learning individual with a positive attitude (drama-free), great customer service skills, and with a flexible schedule to work about 20-30 hours per week in a very busy optometry office at Lynnhaven Mall. The office is open 6 days a week and you will be working with the doctor, other staff, and patients. Hours will be determined after hiring so a flexible schedule is a bonus! Some Saturdays will be required though (usually 10 am - 4 pm). More hours will be added on over the upcoming months as job performance shows improvement. Local college students are definitely encouraged to apply!

Eye care experience would be greatly appreciated. We are super busy and don't have time to train someone for weeks/months so we are looking for someone who has worked in an optometry or medical office before and has experience with pre-testing equipment, contact lenses, and insurances. However, if an applicant has no prior experience but meets many other qualifications, we will still consider you.

Good handwriting is essential and computer skills (typing fast) are always important!

Must be in town and available to work between December 26 - 31st of the year since it is a very busy week and office hours are extended.

Having experience wearing contact lenses is required too since we do many trainings for new contact lens wearers and we don't have time to train you too! No long nails on any employees since we all work close to eyes.

Starting responsibilities include: scheduling appointments, answering the phones, checking patients in and out, ordering contact lenses, checking insurances, collecting copays, and teching patients up on some equipment. Additionally, you will be teaching patients how to insert and remove their contact lenses.

Hourly wage to be discussed in person but is based on experience. A monthly bonus for selling contact lenses is also given to each employee.

No benefits will be offered since this is a PART-TIME position. If a full time position becomes available in the future, benefits are offered after the first year.

Reliable transportation is a must, please have your own car and not rely on Uber, Lyft, or someone else for a ride...punctuality is a must for this job. Random drug testing may be required. We prefer employees who do not smoke since the doctor is sensitive to those odors.

Looking to hire someone to start by mid May 2025 if possible.

Send resume with application online on really. Thanks!
