Optometric Assistant

Job description

Optometric Assistant

This is a versatile position and you will be trained to work as an optician, receptionist, or even a technician depending on the needs of the practice each week.

As an employee at Lowcountry Eye Care, you will contribute to our success by learning what is unique and exceptional about patient care. Your personality type is one that likes to be on the move constantly and ALWAYS learning. You are at your best when you are hustling through a non-stop day of service to our patients, your fellow staff and your individual growth. Without people like you, our business ceases to thrive and/or exist.

Your Responsibilities:

• Act as a company ambassador and embody the core values of FUN, WE SHOW UP, EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY, CONSISTENCY, and SERVICE.
• Study—both with in-office training and a desire to learn this business on your own as well. This is not a job…this is a CAREER.
• Ensure our patients are greeted in a timely and friendly manner and pretested for the doctor.
• Keep a clean workspace. Not just as in “tidy” but as in free from gossip and mental clutter. Spread positivity, not rumors.
• Help out your neighbor. We work as a team. We thrive as a group.
• Show up on time and ready to work. Repeat daily. Throwing up? Stay home. Have sniffles? We have Kleenex, even the fancy kind with lotion built-in—come to work.

You are:

• A self-starter. You love to garner information and learn. You will read industry magazines for the simple hope of learning something that would allow you to serve just one patient better.
• Looking for a CAREER. This is a position that takes several months of training before you are able to properly serve our patients. If you are looking for a one year or even two year gig…keep looking.

We want people to join our FAMILY and stay long-term.

• Open to self-development. We push people to be their best at work and in their personal lives. We don’t let you be lazy or complacent.
• Able to work under high pressure. This place gets extremely busy. That’s all there is to it. Chaos happens but you need to rise above it and remain positive and smiling. Always smiling.
• Not afraid of sales. This is a sales job. No way around it.

You have:

• A servant’s heart. It is the one thing that defines the successful people in our company. This job is not easy but it is extremely rewarding.
• Physical Stamina. It is shockingly tiring to do this work and you will move constantly.
• Your own health insurance. We do not offer this benefit. We do offer free annual eye exams, free glasses and/or contacts, paid holidays and paid leave, and a generous 401K retirement package.
• An understanding that VISION is so precious and that we consider ourselves blessed beyond measure to play a part in making it as clear as it can be.
