This is a fantastic and unique opportunity to embark on a journey towards a great career. Starting as an Optical Assistant apprentice with future opportunities for career progression, you will be supported with loads of great, fun, and interactive training. You will use these exciting new skills in your day-to-day job, where you will gain customer service skills, knowledge in optical support, and develop behaviour suitable for working in an optical practice. Those with a flair for fashion will love the new frames coming in, and if it's your forte, you may even get involved in meeting frame reps and helping choose the new ranges. If you are more technical, you will get to learn lots of information about lenses and measurements, then transform that information into jargon-free, easy-to-understand, customer-friendly language. It's all about teamwork in an optician's practice. There are many roles, but you support each other to ensure your customers get the best experience possible. Optical assistants are a very important part of any optical practice and crucial to the customer journey. Individuals with a real passion for both healthcare and retail thrive in this role, as it's perfect for those who love to make a real difference in other people's lives.

Adjusting customers' spectacle frames using the correct tools to ensure stability and comfort.
Basic frame repairs.
Have a good knowledge of ophthalmic lenses, tints and coatings to be able to meet visual / lifestyle requirements.
Ordering prescription glasses and contact lenses for the customer.
Correct completion of NHS paperwork and written records in line with company procedures.

Explaining offers and products to customers.
Taking payments from customers.
Being able to problem-solve with basic optical concerns
Understanding business KPI's and how they affect the practice's profitability.
Training Outcome:The successful candidate will work towards achieving a Level 3 qualification in optical and gain experience in a busy optical practice. Upon completion of the Level 3 qualification, you will be an experienced and qualified optical assistant, and as such, you can continue building up skills that will always be in demand. Career breaks and part time working are often possible.
You could go on to acquire higher level optical qualifications such as:
Ophthalmic Dispensing- Become a qualified Dispensing Optician.
Contact lens optician - fit contact lenses.
Low vision specialist - help people where traditional spectacles will not suffice. Supply low vision aids, magnifiers, advice on improving contrast and on other non-optical aids such as bump-ons.
