What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to continue providing compassionate patient care while collaborating with healthcare teams to improve patient outcomes.

As an experienced Optical Consultant, I have dedicated my career to providing exceptional patient care in various settings, including home visits and retail environments. My current role at Specsavers involves ensuring that patients receive the right eyewear and ongoing support, allowing them to see clearly and comfortably. I pride myself on my ability to offer tailored advice based on individual needs and preferences, ensuring that each patient feels valued and understood.

Previously, I worked at Boots Opticians, where I honed my skills in pre-screening tests and visual assessments. My experience also includes training new staff members in best practices for patient care. Additionally, my background as a Domiciliary Care Assistant has equipped me with the skills to provide emotional and physical support to patients with complex health conditions, emphasizing dignity and comfort during their care journey. I am passionate about advocating for patients and collaborating with healthcare professionals to ensure the best outcomes.
