The Opportunity

Join Visique, a partner of FYidoctors, as an Optometrist for a mat leave coverage working three to four days a week in our Visique – Grande Prairie, AB clinic in the Prairie Mall Shopping Centre. Our well-established clinic was previously Optik 1000 and has been around for over 2 decades.

The Clinic

We are a warm and energetic optometry clinic with a single exam lane and a team culture that truly sets us apart. Operating Monday through Thursday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Friday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, we serve a diverse and dynamic patient base made up largely of young adults and working professionals. Our tight-knit team of seven — led by one dedicated lead optometrist and supported by six staff members — runs a highly collaborative practice where four team members are fully cross-trained across all clinic functions, including one who is currently completing their opticianry studies. This versatile, motivated team keeps the clinic running smoothly and efficiently, and we are looking for someone who shares that same adaptability and commitment to exceptional patient care.
