Establish your clinic in Ottawa. Ottawa College Square clinic is well positioned to serve an established and expanding community. It's an excellent opportunity to grow your practice and make a meaningful impact on patient care.

This independent clinic is located within Specsavers at the Loblaws located in College Square, benefiting from reliable foot traffic - supporting consistent access to new and returning patients. This is a strong opportunity for brand visibility and patient engagement.

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
  • Reichert Manual Phoropter
  • 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.
