Job DescriptionAssociate Optometrist (OD) | $30K Sign-On Bonus + Housing Assistance
Williston Basin Eyecare Associates | Williston, ND
Full-Time or Part-Time | Monday–Friday | No Weekends
Build Your Career — and Your Life — in a Practice Designed for Both
Williston Basin Eyecare Associates is looking for an Associate Optometrist (OD) to join our established, community-focused private practice in Williston, North Dakota.
We know choosing your next opportunity is about more than the exam room. It's about finding the right practice, community, and lifestyle. That's why we're offering a $30,000 sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and negotiable relocation support to help make your transition to Williston easier.
You'll practice full-scope optometry in a modern, 12,000-square-foot facility with advanced technology, experienced support staff, and a patient volume that allows you to deliver excellent care without the pace of a high-volume corporate environment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- $30,000 sign-on bonus — paid as $10,000 annually over three years
- Six months of housing assistance to help you get established in Williston
- Relocation assistance is negotiable
- Full-time or part-time options available
- Monday–Friday schedule with no weekends
- Full-scope optometry spanning medical and vision care
- Manageable patient volume of approximately 15–18 patients per day
- Dedicated para-optometric technicians supporting efficient patient flow
- Modern 12,000 sq. ft. facility with 10 fully equipped exam lanes
- Competitive base salary + production bonus
- Established private practice with deep roots in the community
Full-Time or Part-Time — Let's Find the Right Fit
We're open to finding the schedule that works for the right OD.
Our full-time opportunity offers a Monday–Friday schedule with no weekends. We're also interested in a part-time Associate Optometrist for 2–3 days per week, with a particular need for Monday, Thursday, and Friday coverage.
Whether you're an experienced OD looking for a change, a new graduate beginning your career, or someone interested in a part-time private-practice opportunity, we'd like to talk.
