About The Position

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. 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.
