OPTOMETRIST | Namibia

An exciting opportunity is available for a full-time Optometrist to join an established practice in Windhoek, Namibia, with the added opportunity to make a meaningful impact through its PAD (road) outreach programme.

The successful candidate will take on the role of main PAD Optometrist, travelling to towns and communities across Namibia to provide quality eye-care services where they are most needed. This is an excellent opportunity for an Optometrist who enjoys variety, meeting new people and expanding their clinical experience beyond a traditional practice environment.

All travel logistics are taken care of, with transport, fuel, accommodation and meals provided during outreach trips. When not travelling, the Optometrist will be based at the Windhoek practice, working alongside a professional team and gaining valuable exposure to a broad range of patients and clinical cases.

Working Hours

Monday – Friday: 08:00 – 17:00
1-hour lunch break
Saturdays: 08:30 – 12:30
Approximately 2 Saturdays per month, occasionally 3 depending on the month, on a rotational basis.

What the Opportunity Offers

This role offers far more than a conventional Optometry position. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to travel extensively throughout Namibia, work with diverse patient populations, develop strong independent clinical skills and gain valuable community-eye-health experience.

During PAD outreach trips, transport, fuel, accommodation and meals are provided, allowing the Optometrist to focus on delivering quality patient care and making a meaningful difference in communities across the country.

Competitive, performance-based and above-market compensation, to be agreed upon according to experience and suitability for the role.

This is an excellent opportunity for an Optometrist looking for career growth, variety, adventure and the chance to make a genuine difference through accessible eye care.
