Instead, it's an opportunity to become a trusted part of a highly respected independent practice that has built its reputation through genuine relationships, outstanding service and a commitment to helping people look and feel their best.
The patient journey here is highly personal. Patients aren't left to browse frames alone. They are guided, styled and advised. Time is taken to understand who they are, what they want and how they want to feel when they leave.

Building genuine relationships with patients and understanding their individual needs
Supporting collections, adjustments and aftercare
Taking ownership of tasks and helping ensure everything runs smoothly day-to-day
Supporting colleagues and contributing to a positive team culture
Contributing ideas and identifying opportunities to improve processes and patient experience
About You
You'll be a GOC registered Dispensing Optician who enjoys the people side of optics just as much as the technical side.
Most importantly, you'll be somebody who:
Loves working with people and building relationships
Takes pride in delivering exceptional customer service
Has energy, enthusiasm and a positive attitude
Is naturally proactive and takes initiative
Enjoys learning and continually developing their skills
Is confident communicating with a wide variety of people
Enjoys taking pride in the details and always looking for ways to improve
Feels comfortable making recommendations and explaining the value of premium products
Takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do
Wants to contribute to something bigger than their individual role
This opportunity would particularly suit a Dispensing Optician who wants more involvement, more responsibility and the chance to become a genuinely important part of a successful independent practice.
What's On Offer
Salary up to £40,000 depending on experience
Opportunity to join a highly respected independent practice
Greater responsibility and involvement than a traditional Dispensing Optician role
Opportunity to work with a loyal and engaged patient base
Ongoing training and development
