Exciting employment opportunity - Low Vision Clinic Director in Atlanta, Georgia



The Center for the Visually Impaired (CVI) has an immediate opening
for a Director of its Low Vision Clinic. Established more than
30 years ago within a rehabilitation and social service model, the
clinic is now positioned to adopt a medical model more fully,
which will enable us to expand and access additional medical
reimbursement options.



We seek an Occupational Therapist who possesses certification in Low
Vision or is committed to attain such certification within the
first year of employment. The ideal candidate will have strong
experience in staff supervision and program management. In addition
to managing the day-to-day operations of the Clinic, the successful
candidate will also be expected to carry a small caseload of
Medicare-eligible patients.



Currently, CVI’s Low Vision Clinic operates an average of three clinic
days per week, utilizing four contract Optometrists and two
full-time Certified Low Vision Therapists, resulting in over 700 low
vision exams per year. CVI’s onsite VisAbility store provides a
mechanism for seamless dispensing of devices, so patients can often
leave the facility with their prescribed optical and non-optical
devices.



CVI offers competitive salaries and excellent fringe benefits,
including vacation and sick leave, a 403-B plan and medical coverage.
In addition, CVI closes during the week between Christmas and New
Year, which averages an additional week of time off.



CVI is a fully accredited organization which provides services to
persons of all ages experiencing vision loss. The majority of
patients served through our low vision clinic are older adults,
experiencing vision loss as a result of age-related conditions.



CVI is located in Midtown Atlanta, close to public transportation,
fine dining, arts and many educational venues.
