About The Opportunity

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.

- 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
