Ready to trade a "job" for a "career"?

Do you love helping people look and feel their best? Are you looking for a profession that mixes healthcare, fashion, and technology?

Prairie View Eyecare is looking for a friendly, high-energy person to join our team. We aren’t just looking for a medical technician; we are looking for a patient experience creator. You will handle everything from the medical side (checking vision) to the fashion side (helping patients choose the perfect frames).

No medical or eye care experience? No problem! If you have a background in retail, serving, or customer service, you already have the hardest skills to learn. We will train you on the rest!

What You’ll Be Doing

• The Clinical Side: You will act as the doctor’s right hand. You’ll use state-of-the-art technology to check patients' vision, eye pressure, and peripheral vision before they see the doctor.
• The Optical Side: You will act as a "Frame Stylist." You’ll help patients select glasses that fit their face shape and personal style, and educate them on the best lens options for their lifestyle.
• The Patient Experience: You are the face of our practice! Whether you are teaching a new wearer how to use contact lenses or helping someone check out, you make our patients feel at home.
  
  

This Role Is Perfect For You If

• You are a "People Person": You can strike up a conversation with anyone and make them feel comfortable.
• You Have "Hustle": You enjoy staying busy and taking initiative rather than waiting to be told what to do.
• You Like Sales/Service: You are comfortable discussing pricing, explaining value, and helping people make purchasing decisions.
• You Want to Learn: You are interested in the medical field but don't want to be stuck behind a desk all day.
  
  

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Competitive Pay: $18 - $22/hr. We value our team and pay for talent.
• Great Hours: Enjoy a consistent schedule without the late-night retail/restaurant grind.
• The Culture: We are a private practice with over 200 5-star reviews. We work hard, but we laugh a lot and enjoy a friendly, modern work environment in the heart of Prairie Trail.
• The Benefits: Paid Time Off (PTO), Paid Holidays, and generous vision/glasses discounts for you.
  
  

Requirements

• 1 years of experience in Customer Service, Retail, Sales, or Hospitality is preferred.
• Previous Optical/Medical experience is a bonus, but NOT required.
• Reliability and a positive attitude are non-negotiable.
  
  

We look forward to welcoming you to our team! Apply here, today through Eyes On Eyecare®!
