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.
