Job description

Position: Dispensing Optician

Salary: Up to £30,000 depending on experience
Working Hours: Full or part-time working patterns considered. No late nights. Regular weekend off
Experience Level: This is open to both trainee and experienced Dispensing Opticians who are registered with the GOC

At Specsavers Haverfordwest, we pride ourselves on the patient experience we provide through clinical excellence and our store is a local hub for Clinical advancement. We take Optics very seriously, but we also understand the value of fun and work-life balance. If you want to work in a fun and supportive environment that will bring out the very best in your clinical skills, but also allow you to enjoy your daily routine, contact us today and find out more.

Our Dispensing Opticians are the face of our clinic on the shop floor and usually an integral part of our store management team, so we’re keen to get you up to speed with management responsibilities. With ILM courses, pre-reg supervision and Specsavers Partnership Pathway available, we can guide you on your way to becoming a great leader. This – along with your clinical expertise – will stand you in good stead if you choose to become a store director yourself one day.

We’re dedicated to our customers, but what really makes this role stand out is that we offer a workplace with a difference - where people grow both personally and professionally.

What’s on offer?

• Up to £30,000 depending on experience
• 33 days holiday
• No late nights
• Regular weekend off
• Open to trainee and experienced Dispensing Opticians
• Pension contribution
• £1 all day parking
• Exceptional clinical and professional development opportunities including support to pursue CLO course
• Access to cutting-edge clinical technology, such as OCT
• Join an award-winning store who have won a National Optician award twice - 2017 and 2022

The Role in a Nutshell:

• Ensure that you provide good levels of customer service to customers at all times.
• Liaise with Optometrists to ensure that each customer you dispense receives a consistent quality handover.
• Manage aftersales service (including complaints and problem solving) in a customer service focused ‘can do’ manner.
• Contribute to achievement of individual and team sales targets by demonstrating effective professional sales techniques.

Then there’s you

Alongside being a qualified and GOC registered Dispensing Optician, we are searching for someone who shares our store’s ethos. Someone who wants to grow, develop and offer exceptional customer care along the way. We want a practitioner who prides themselves on their clinical judgment, that isn’t afraid of a hands-on approach and who is keen to get involved and build rapport with the rest of the team. In summary, we’re looking for a skilled Dispensing Optician to join us, be part of the team and assist in driving our practice forward.
