Optometric Assistant

About Us

At Wildwood Optical, we believe eye care should feel both personal and exceptional. Our team of experienced optometrists and dedicated staff are committed to delivering comprehensive eye exams, advanced diagnostics, and curated eyewear in a welcoming, patient-focused environment.

As a growing, multi-doctor practice in Winnipeg, we have built our reputation on strong relationships, attention to detail, and a seamless patient experience from start to finish. We take pride in creating a supportive workplace where our team feels valued, challenged, and connected to the care we provide every day.

The Role

We are looking for an adaptable and enthusiastic team member to join our practice as an Optometric Assistant.

This is a dynamic, hybrid role. You will move between front desk coordination, patient pre-testing, and optical support throughout your day.

· Perform pre-testing and gather patient information prior to exams

· Assist patients in selecting eyewear that fits their vision needs, lifestyle, and personal style

· Support frame adjustments, repairs, and overall optical care

· Help maintain a clean, organized, and well-stocked dispensary

· Step into different areas of the clinic as needed, supporting both front desk and optical services throughout the day

What We’re Looking For

· Someone who enjoys a varied role and is comfortable switching between tasks and responsibilities

· Friendly, positive, and patient-focused in every interaction

· Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to work independently

· A strong team player who is flexible and willing to support where needed

· Interest in eye care and willingness to learn and grow in a clinical setting

· Previous experience in optometry or healthcare is an asset but not required

Why Join Wildwood Optical

We know that when our team feels supported, our patients receive the best care. We offer:

· A consistent schedule with no weekends

· No late evenings

· Competitive compensation based on experience

· Comprehensive health benefits

· A supportive, team-oriented environment
