• Drive regional performance insights – Own trade analysis, spot risks and opportunities, and work with Regional Managers to improve results.
• Support workforce planning and hiring – Manage locum usage and partner with Recruitment on hiring, onboarding, and probation.
• Deliver projects and improvements – Support the Head Optometrist on new services, SOPs, and training content to continuously raise the bar.
• Fully qualified Optometrist (3+ years post-registration) – Experienced in high-volume environments and confident balancing care with commercial impact.
