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.

• 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
