Swap the Daily Grind for Island Life & 1 Hour Test Times!

Imagine a clinical routine where you have a full hour for every single testing appointment, working out of a state-of-the-art practice just 2 minutes from the beach.

Trouteaud Opticians in St Peter Port, Guernsey, is seeking a passionate Resident Optometrist to join our thriving, high-profile practice.
