North Raleigh, NC | $70–$80/hour | Flexible Schedule

About Our Practice

We are a beautiful, growing independent private practice in the North Ridge area of North Raleigh looking for a part-time associate optometrist to join our team.

This position is initially intended to provide coverage during maternity leave, with the opportunity to continue longer-term for the right doctor.

We know that flexibility matters. Choose a schedule that works for you—full days or school-hour schedules welcome. If you need to work 9–3 for school pickup, prefer certain weekdays, or are simply looking for a better work-life balance, we're happy to discuss a schedule that works for both of us.

What Your Day Looks Like

Our goal is to make practicing optometry enjoyable and efficient. You'll typically see 14–16 patients per day, primarily healthy comprehensive exams and contact lens patients.

You'll have:

• A technician to work up patients
• Optomap imaging on approximately 85% of patients
• An automated phoropter for easy, efficient refractions
• A modern, newly renovated office
• An established patient base of primarily middle- to upper-middle-income families
• A friendly, supportive team
• No pressure to rush through an excessive number of patients

Responsibilities

You'll use your clinical and interpersonal skills to provide high-quality vision care to our patients, including:

• Comprehensive eye examinations
• Contact lens evaluations and fittings
• Diagnosis and management of routine ocular conditions
• Patient education and recommendations
• Providing a warm, personalized patient experience

The ideal candidate is clinically confident, personable, dependable, and committed to providing excellent patient care.

Schedule

Part-time with significant flexibility.

We are open Tuesday–Friday and are willing to work around the right doctor's availability. Full days are welcome, but shorter schedules such as 9:00 AM–3:00 PM are absolutely an option.

Initial maternity coverage will begin in late 2026/early 2027, with the possibility of an ongoing part-time position afterward.

Compensation

$70–$80/hour, depending on experience and availability.

Qualifications

• Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree
• Active North Carolina optometry license or ability to obtain one
• Strong clinical and interpersonal skills
• Commitment to providing thoughtful, high-quality patient care

If you're looking for a low-stress private-practice environment with a manageable patient load and a schedule that can actually fit your life, we'd love to hear from you.
