Step into clinical leadership with flexibility within Specsavers Kitchener - with the freedom to grow your practice, your way.

Establish your clinic

This independent clinic is located within Specsavers at Real Canadian Superstore in Kitchener with reliable foot traffic - supporting consistent access to new and returning patients. This is a strong opportunity for brand visibility and patient engagement.

This clinic operates in a fully fitted, professionally designed space with one exam room and pre-test room.

The Specsavers retail store is owned and managed by experienced optician. The team of trained eyecare consultants at the store welcome and guide your patients through pre-testing.

Your opportunity 

This role is designed for optometrists seeking greater autonomy, leadership, and a pathway towards ownership:

Start your own clinic your way - practice as an independent optometrist with full clinical autonomy

Flexibility to grow at your pace - start with as little as one day per week and expand over time; you have the flexibility to maintain your current commitments how it works for you

Build and lead your team - shape the culture and patient experience within your clinic

Pathway to ownership - unlock future partnership opportunities

Deliver clinical excellence - your clinic includes access a full suite of advanced diagnostic technology, including:

NIDEK Tonoref 3
NIDEK automated lensometer
Topcon Maestro2
NIDEK intelligent refractor RT-6100
S4OPTIK slit lamp

Support when you need it - benefit from Specsavers’ back office support, resources, and professional development, so you can stay focused on patient care.

What You’ll Bring

Registered optometrist in Ontario
Entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for leadership and delivering quality, patient-centred care
Motivated to take on leadership and grow a practice
Interested in building toward greater independence and ownership

What makes being a Lead Optometrist with Specsavers different?

At Specsavers, we believe quality eyecare starts with a simple idea: putting people first, always. For over 40 years, Specsavers has been committed to making quality eyecare and affordable eyewear accessible to everyone - because we believe no one should have to compromise on their eye health, regardless of their background or circumstances. That’s why we’ve made OCT available as a standard part of eye exams.

Today, we’re the world’s largest privately owned optical retailer and still a family-owned business. We’re a place where you can feel you belong, and be part of something that truly makes a difference.

Make it your own – with the confidence and support of being backed a globally trusted brand.
