Optical Team Member

Optical Team Member 

If you’re a creative problem-solver, an active listener, a solid communicator, have an eye for the small things, and have a generally good vibe–you’re perfect! Frame fitting and styling to lens types and prescriptions to ordering and insurance–you can help solve problems and make people’s days and vision better! Experience in customer service, sales, or just working with people is a huge help, but no previous optical experience is required! We’re looking for someone who is eager to learn and grow, whether you’re starting a new career or building on previous skills.

Optician Description:

As an Optical team member, you’ll help guide patients and customers through the entire process of selecting the right glasses—choosing the perfect frames, understanding lens types, determining prescription details, and making recommendations based on individual needs, preferences, and lifestyle. There’s definitely a sales component, but we’re more in the business of education and making insightful recommendations based on each person’s needs, preferences, and lifestyle. 

Optical Training:

You’ll receive on-the-job, paid training as you work your way toward becoming a fully trained Optician. What is an optician, you may ask? Opticians are “The Glasses People”. Adjusting frames, repairing broken glasses, setting up orders, working with labs, simplifying the mysteries of lens designs and prescriptions, and solving issues for patients. 

Who We Are: 

Homer Eyecare strives to offer consistent, quality, in-depth eye care on the Kenai Peninsula. We provide comprehensive ocular health care, along with emergency eye care for pink eye, foreign body removal, glaucoma management, retinal detachment screenings, and much more. Our mission is to provide Caring Vision Solutions That Enhance People’s Lives. 

We believe that one of the best ways of doing this, though, is by building up and supporting our team so that our team can fully and intentionally support our patients and community. We value collaboration, curiosity, innovation, autonomy, and ownership–without traditional hierarchies or "management".

What We Offer:

• A consistent schedule and on-the-job paid training.
• Opportunities for growth, including continuing education, leadership roles, and projects that allow you to stretch your skills.
• After a 90-day training period, you’ll enjoy great benefits including:
  • Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • 6 paid holidays
  • Eye care benefits
  • A healthcare stipend
  • A tiered compensation system based on merit and performance, not tenure. This means you can request a raise whenever you feel you’ve earned it!

HEC-Specific Benefits:

• Free office glasses
• Discounted eyewear
• Educational and professional development opportunities
• Career growth options
• Two-week annual training programs (which have taken us to some pretty cool places!)
• A supportive and amazing team to work with
