Optometrist – Wardale Williams Halstead
If you became an Optometrist because you wanted the time and freedom to truly care for your patients eye health, we'd love to talk to you.
At Wardale Williams in Halstead, our eye examinations aren't built around getting the next patient through the door as quickly as possible. Our standard test time is 40 minutes, giving you the space to investigate properly, explain what you've found and get to know the person sitting in your testing room, continuity of care is a value of ours and we want to give you the opportunity to build long lasting and trusting relationships.
We're looking for a GOC-registered Optometrist to join us on a part-time basis, working 3 days per week with some Saturdays. We are closed on Sundays and Bank holidays.
We're a locally owned, independent opticians with a longstanding presence on Halstead High Street. Being independent means we can focus on what works for our patients rather than being tied to a particular manufacturer, product or way of working. Clinically, that means giving our Optometrists the time, technology and autonomy to deliver the standard of care they believe in. You'll have access to OCT technology, work with both private and NHS patients and see a varied caseload spanning comprehensive eye examinations, eye health, contact lenses and ongoing patient care.
You'll also be joining an experienced practice team with deep roots in the local community, some of our colleagues have been caring for generations of local families for decades. Our Halstead practice has previously been recognised for both Customer Care and Community Involvement, and Wardale Williams forms part of an award-winning group of independent opticians known for putting patient experience at the heart of what we do.
Our independence extends beyond the consulting room, we're free to provide enhanced services to suit our communities needs as well as hand selected eyewear from across the market, offering everything from accessible everyday styles through to brands including Ray-Ban, Tom Ford, MOSCOT, Michael Kors, Hackett, Silhouette and more. Our patients come to us for expert advice, but they stay with us because of the relationships they build with our team.
Alongside a rewarding clinical role, you'll also receive:

Back-office services for independent eye care
Hakim Group is the largest network of independent opticians and audiologists in the UK and Ireland. It uses a joint venture model that acquires a majority stake in practices while the original owners keep a minority share and continue to manage, letting each practice keep its brand and community focus. The group provides centralized back-office support—procurement, finance, accounting, IT, technical support, HR, and training—so clinicians can concentrate on eye and hearing care, with revenue coming from these shared services. Its goal is to grow its network, scale its support platform, and improve efficiency and patient care across the optical and audiology sectors.
