Job description

Dispensing Optician – Stechford

Salary up to £30,000 + bonus | Full-time | Independent Practice

YOU MUST BE A GOC REGISTERED DISPENSING OPTICIAN OR YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE REJECTED.

A relaxed, independent environment

We’re recruiting for a Dispensing Optician in Stechford to join a small, established independent practice with a genuinely relaxed and friendly working environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for a newly qualified DO or experienced Dispensing Optician who enjoys taking their time with patients, working as part of a close-knit team and being involved in the full dispensing journey. The practice sees a high proportion of NHS patients, including lots of children but offer a great team and working environment

The role

The role will involve:

• Providing professional dispensing advice and helping patients choose the right frames and lenses
• Working with a varied patient base, including a significant number of children
• Managing the dispensing side of the practice
• Getting involved with frames, lenses and dispensing solutions
• Working with a range of products, including Essilor and brands such as Armani and Prada
• Supporting the practice’s myopia management offering

Who we’re looking for

Personality is particularly important here.

This would suit someone who is calm, approachable, patient and comfortable working in a relaxed environment. You don’t need to be a forceful or overly sales-driven personality – in fact, someone who is more collaborative is likely to fit the team particularly well.

You could be:

• A newly qualified Dispensing Optician
• A DO with several years’ experience
• A trainee DO approaching qualification
• Someone currently completing their pre-reg who is looking for their next step

The practice is open to supporting someone newly qualified, with salary reflecting the level of experience and what you can bring to the role.

What’s on offer?

• Salary up to £30,000, depending on experience
• Monthly store bonus
• 21 days’ holiday + bank holidays
• 1 week paid sick leave
• Pension
• GOC fees covered
• CET courses
• Free parking
• One Saturday off per month
• A small, supportive team

Why consider it?

This isn’t a high-pressure, corporate environment where you’ll be expected to hit aggressive targets.

It’s a small independent practice where patient care, relationships and getting the dispensing right are important.

If you’re newly qualified and looking for somewhere you can develop your confidence and experience, or you’re an experienced DO who simply wants a quieter, more relaxed working environment, this could be a very good fit.
