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.

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. The duties within this role include:
Greeting customers in a professional and friendly manner as they enter the practice.
Interpreting and understanding a clinically issued prescription, its effects on the eye, and the customer's vision.
Helping customers select spectacle frame(s) that are suitable in terms of comfort, look good and fit lifestyle requirements.
Be able to explain the features and benefits of particular frames, using non-technical customer-friendly language.
Measuring the frames and ensuring they are a suitable size for a customer and can accommodate their lenses.
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.
