At Valley Family Optometry, we take pride in providing top-rated eye care by passionate health professionals. We foster real relationships with our patients, taking the time to get to know them.

Our employees are the heart of our practice and our office culture is strongly collaborative and team-based. We hire friendly, outgoing, personable staff and provide on-site training. Our days are fast-paced, patient-centered, and fun – with lots of learning opportunities each and every day.

We are looking for an exceptional HR & Office Administrator to join our friendly and professional team as lead administrative contact for 5 doctors, 12 staff, and an ever-growing list of patients and suppliers. If you have a combination of both solid HR oversight of staff and office management experience, especially in a health care setting or service industry, we’d love to hear from you!

Do you have great organizational and team-building skills? Are you a relationship builder who views conflict as an opportunity to improve communication and collaboration? Do you have demonstrated experience leading a team while improving work flow and monitoring the budget? Can you juggle both a variety of administrative projects and support every member of the team while smiling through every challenge? Are you willing to learn new skills in three critical areas of our practice - front desk, pre-test, and dispensing lab – because you know that in order to help staff excel at their job, you first need to know the duties and challenges they handle every day? (Cross-training in all practice departments will be provided.)

In short, are you an awesome and exceptional people-person who can walk into a lead role with a fully functioning team and have every team member welcome your support and guidance?

This is an on-site position at our Kingston location with occasional travel to our New Minas clinic. Regular hours are 9 am to 5 pm on-site, either fulltime, Monday through Friday, or three days a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Hourly salary, plus benefits, based on experience.

If you are interested in joining our team, please e-mail a combined cover letter and resume to vfoemployment@gmail.com. In your cover letter, tell us what excites you about this position at this point in your career and let us know if you prefer the fulltime or part-time employment option.

We will be accepting applications and interviewing candidates on an ongoing basis until the position is filled so we recommend that you apply immediately.

We thank all applicants for their time and interest and regret that we are only able to contact those selected for an interview.
