Full-Time Optician

Comprehensive Mobile Care

Sacramento, CA

$26 - $28/hr

Full-time

Posted 12 days ago


Job description

Location: Sacramento, CA

Consistent Schedule: Full-Time (Monday-Thursday)

Compensation: $24 - $28 per hour, Mileage Reimbursement, Benefits Package

About The Opportunity

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is seeking a Full-Time Optician to join our team serving in a senior outpatient clinic in Sacramento, CA. If you're dependable, compassionate, and ready for a change from the traditional retail setting, this could be the perfect fit.

Why This Role Is Different

Looking for a role where your work truly makes a difference? As an Optician at CMC, you'll bring quality vision care directly to senior citizens who often have limited access to optometry. It's hands-on, meaningful work — and you'll have opportunity to cross-train in other clinical fields like audiology and podiatry. This is not a high-volume model. We emphasize quality over volume because we are a mission-driven healthcare company.

What You'll Do

  • Assist the optometrist with patient intake, visual screenings, and basic diagnostic testing
  • Assist with eyewear selection, adjustments, and fittings for patients
  • Set up, break down, and maintain portable optometry equipment
  • Follow strict sterilization and infection control protocols
  • Ensure patients feel comfortable, supported, and informed
  • Complete basic documentation, charting and administrative tasks
  • Represent CMC with professionalism, compassion, and reliability

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of experience as an Optician or Optometric Assistant preferred
  • Medical Assisting experience is a plus
  • Experience serving geriatric patients preferred
  • Strong understanding of OSHA & infection control
  • Reliable Transportation and Valid Driver's License
  • Able to lift/transport equipment (25–50 lbs)
  • Must pass federal background check + drug screening
  • Professional, punctual, and able to work independently
  • A heart for serving seniors and underserved communities

What You'll Get

  • $26-$28 / hour + mileage reimbursement + benefits
  • Consistent schedule — no nights or weekends
  • A supportive, mission-driven team
  • Independence, flexibility, and the chance to make a real impact
  • The fulfillment of bringing essential care to those who need it most

If you're a committed Optician ready to be part of something meaningful, we'd love to connect.

Apply today and help bring high-quality eye care directly to seniors in Sacramento!
