We're a well-established optometry clinic in St. John's providing comprehensive eye care and eyewear to patients of all ages. Our office is small, busy, and team-oriented, with an in-house finishing lab so we can handle everything from the eye exam to the finished pair of glasses under one roof.
About the Role
We're looking for a reliable, detail-oriented person to join our team as an Optometric Assistant. No previous optical or medical experience is required — full on-the-job training is provided. If you're mechanically inclined, comfortable with people, and willing to learn, we'll teach you the rest.

Optical Lab
- Edge and finish lenses to fit patient frames using our in-house equipment
- Verify finished eyewear against the prescription using a lensometer
- Adjust, repair, and dispense glasses to patients
- Order lenses and frames, receive stock, and maintain lab equipment
What We're Looking For
- High school diploma or equivalent
- Strong attention to detail and valuable manual dexterity — lab work requires precision
- Comfortable and professional with the public, including seniors and children
- Basic computer skills and willingness to learn our practice management software
- Dependable, punctual, and able to work well in a small team
- Ability to stand, sit, and work at a bench for extended periods
What We Offer
- Full paid training — no experience necessary
- A stable, long-term position in a growing healthcare field
- Regular weekday hours with [no evenings / Weekends]
