Optometrist

About the Company

20/20 Onsite brings free, comprehensive eye exams and glasses directly to students where they learn — removing the transportation, cost, and scheduling barriers that keep kids from getting the vision care they need to succeed in school.

The Opportunity

20/20 Onsite is seeking a licensed Optometrist to provide comprehensive eye exams to students in Boston Public Schools. This is a full-time or part-time, temporary contracted position running through June 2027, with the potential to extend.

Because scheduling follows the Boston Public Schools calendar, most weeks run a full five days, with the occasional lighter week built in as school schedules shift — giving you steady, full-time or part-time work with a bit of natural breathing room along the way.

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 meaningful, community-based work for the remainder of the school year.

Responsibilities

Perform comprehensive pediatric eye exams for students in Boston Public Schools, either on our mobile clinic or in a designated space within the school.

• 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.

Schedule & Location Details

This role is built around the Boston Public Schools calendar — most weeks run Monday through Friday, generally 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

As with any school-based schedule, the number of exam days can vary slightly week to week; we'll keep you posted on your schedule as far in advance as possible.

The position is temporary, running through June 2027, with the potential to extend.

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 worked, paid as an independent contractor (1099).
