your quick guide to optometrist roles in the Midlands.
optometrist salaries in the midlands
Permanent optometrist roles in the Midlands typically pay £40,000–£55,000. With a high supply of optometrists in areas like Birmingham and Leicester, pay sits below scarcer regions like the South West — but lower living costs mean it stretches further, and the best packages are usually in the surrounding towns and independents working hardest to attract talent.
where the opportunities are
Our strength in the Midlands is the towns and communities around the major cities — the commuter belt, market towns and rural practices across Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. These are the places where good roles genuinely need filling, and where a strong optometrist is in real demand — rather than the saturated city centres.
starting your optometry career in the Midlands
The Midlands is a great place to build a career, and the smaller-town and independent practices we work with often give newly qualified optometrists more than a city-centre multiple would — a broader caseload, closer mentoring and faster responsibility. Central enough to keep your options open, affordable enough to actually enjoy it.
looking for your next move?
Whether it's a clinical lead role or a move into an independent with room to grow, the opportunities we handle across the wider, more rural, Midland areas offer real progression — often with less competition than the big-city practices. Tell us what you're after and we'll match you properly.
