About The Opportunity

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is seeking an Optician / Medical Assistant to support senior outpatient clinics across multiple clinics around San Diego, California — one clinic per day.

This is a great opportunity for someone who is compassionate, reliable, and ready for a change from the traditional retail optical setting. In this role, you’ll help bring quality vision care directly to senior citizens and underserved communities in a structured, mission-driven healthcare environment.

Why This Role Is Different

At CMC, your work has a direct impact. You’ll support optometry care in senior-focused outpatient clinics, helping patients who may have limited access to essential vision services.

This is not a high-volume retail model. We focus on quality care, meaningful patient interaction, and strong support for the providers and clinical teams we serve.

There may also be opportunities to cross-train in additional clinical areas such as audiology and podiatry.

What You’ll Do

• Assist the optometrist with patient intake, visual screenings, and basic diagnostic testing
• Communicate clearly and compassionately with patients, including Spanish and English speaking patients
• Assist with eyewear selection, adjustments, fittings, and basic repairs
• Set up, break down, and maintain portable optometry equipment
• Follow sterilization, safety, and infection control protocols
• Complete basic documentation, charting, and administrative tasks
• Represent CMC with professionalism, compassion, and reliability

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience as an Optician or Optometric Technician preferred
• Medical Assisting experience is a plus
• Bilingual Spanish proficiency required
• Experience serving geriatric or senior populations preferred
• Strong understanding of OSHA and infection control standards
• Reliable transportation and valid driver’s license required
• Able to lift and transport equipment, typically 25–50 lbs
• Must be able to pass a federal background check and drug screening
• Professional, punctual, and able to work independently
• A heart for serving seniors and underserved communities

What You’ll Get

• $27 per hour
• Mileage reimbursement
• Consistent schedule with no nights or weekends
• Supportive, mission-driven work environment
• Independence, variety, and the opportunity to make a real impact
• The fulfillment of helping bring essential care directly to those who need it most
