What are the responsibilities and job description for the Eye Doctor's Assistant (Optometric Technician) - Willing to Train! position at New Holstein Family Eye Care?
Do you like to learn new things? Are you a "people person?" Do you enjoy helping others?
We are four independent optometry practices interested in hiring a FRIENDLY, organized, and responsible "people person" to join our New Holstein AND Chilton team. Experience in optical, medicine and/or insurance is a plus, but we will train the right person. This position can be full-time or part-time. Full-time is approximately 35 scheduled hours per week and includes working from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Thursday with one evening (Wednesdays) until 6:00 PM, and 8 to 1 PM on Fridays. We are not open on weekends...so you will only work a 4.5 day work week! Part-time hours would require availability for at least three full days per week (partial day availability does not count).
Doctor's Assistant (aka Optometric Technician or "Tech") duties include performing a complete health history (including medications, allergies, previous illnesses, etc.) using our electronic health record (EHR), taking vital signs, performing basic visual testing and recording results for use by the optometrist, reading spectacle prescriptions using a lensometer and performing minor adjustments and repairs on patients' frames as needed. You will also be training to conduct specialty testing including Visual Fields and OCTs, and some optician skills including dispensing glasses, adjusting glasses, minor repairs, ordering contact lenses, etc. Cross training as a receptionist will take place once you have mastered the tech role. Additionally, cross training as a receptionist is strongly encouraged. Receptionists greet patients, manage the patient schedule, check patients in and out, take payments, reconcile inventory and end of day financials, etc.
Experience is not absolutely critical as we are truly looking for the best personality and culture fit for the practice.
Salary starts at $15/hour and higher depending on level of relevant experience. Benefits include an employer-funded retirement plan, the best vision plan anywhere, profit sharing, Costco membership, logowear allowance, paid time off, paid holidays, wellness program, and a variety of supplemental benefits (Some benefits only available to FT employees). We do not offer a company-sponsored health plan but do provide a company-funded Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) that assists with coverage of health insurance premiums and medical expenses. We also provide supplemental coverage via a company-paid accident plan through Allstate.
