About the Role

20/20 Onsite is seeking a licensed optometrist to provide comprehensive eye exams to students in Boston Public Schools. This is a contracted, flexible-schedule position: you choose anywhere from one to five days per week based on your availability. Exams are conducted either aboard our mobile vision clinic or on-site within school buildings. Every student we see receives a free eye exam, and any student who needs corrective lenses receives a free pair of glasses.

This role is a great fit for an optometrist looking for flexible, meaningful, community-based work that fits around an existing practice or schedule.

• Diagnose refractive errors and other vision issues, and prescribe corrective lenses as needed.
• Accurately document exam findings and prescriptions in accordance with clinical and program standards.
• Communicate exam results and recommendations clearly to school staff and families as needed.
• Maintain a warm, patient bedside manner suited to working with children.
• Ensure all exams and services are delivered in compliance with applicable state licensing and clinical standards.

Qualifications

• Active, unrestricted Optometrist license in Massachusetts (OD).
• Comfortable and experienced working with pediatric patients.
• Reliable and punctual, with strong communication skills.
• Ability to work efficiently in a mobile clinic or school-based setting.
• Prior experience with school-based or community vision programs is a plus, but not required.

Schedule & Location Details

• Exams take place Monday through Friday, generally between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
• You select your own schedule, from 1 to 5 days per week, based on your availability.
• Work locations rotate across Boston Public Schools; exams are conducted either aboard 20/20 Onsite's mobile vision clinic or inside the school itself.

Compensation

• $700 per day, paid as an independent contractor (1099).
