Job description

About us

McAusland Optometrists is a tech-forward, paperless, private-only practice with a fiercely independent, patient-centric ethos. We have a friendly, close-knit team that support each other both personally & professionally, and our aim is to continue growing the business by enhancing our reputation as one of the premier practices in the South West.

The practice is built around a core philosophy of clinical excellence, backed up by high-quality dispensing. That means getting it right first-time, going the extra mile to delight our patients, and throwing in a bit of personality to create memorable experiences for patients & colleagues alike.

Unsurprisingly, we make it a point to work with good quality, stylish brands including FEB31st, prodesign:denmark, Dutz, Vanni, Res/Rei, Face a Face, Silhouette, WOOW, Maui Jim & Evil Eye, and the majority of our lenses are personalised products dispensed through Essilor’s Bespoke program.

What are we looking for?

We’re particular about the products we use and the way we do things – and we’re just as selective about our people!

We’re looking for an individual that shows attention to detail, enjoys taking initiative, and possesses high emotional intelligence. The successful candidate will be encouraged to prioritise client delight over blindly meeting targets, will bring their own style and passion to the table, and will take pride in facilitating their colleagues’ development. Basic lab experience (ordering, repairs/adjustments & assembly of remote-edged jobs) is preferred but not essential; training & familiarisation on technology & practice management system (Optix) will be provided to bring the successful candidate up to speed.

While we’re advertising for a full-time role, hours could be flexible for the right candidate; however excellence & kindness are non-negotiable.

What can we offer?

No Sundays, Bank Holidays or late nights, and a lunchtime finish on Saturdays. Good holiday package too, including a proper Christmas break every year: work/life balance is important, as is having time with your family.

Excellent earning potential: we want our people to feel professionally valued & financially rewarded (but you’ll need to earn your keep!)

Best of all, the opportunity to work alongside a progressive practice owner & an excellent team to deliver a first-class service to our lovely clients.

All applications treated in confidence. Recommendations & referrals very welcome.
