This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate and dedicated Dispensing Optician to join a practice where professional expertise is genuinely valued, patients are at the heart of everything they do, and team members are encouraged to develop and thrive in their careers.

The practice is committed to delivering high-quality optometric care and creating a welcoming, personal experience for every patient. They are looking for someone who shares these values and wants to make a real difference, not only to the patients they care for but also to the wider practice team.

The Role

As a Dispensing Optician, you will play an important role in delivering an outstanding patient experience, using your clinical knowledge, dispensing expertise and excellent communication skills to ensure every patient receives the right advice and solutions for their visual needs.

You will have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients, provide tailored recommendations and contribute to the continued success of a practice that values quality over a one-size-fits-all approach.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Providing professional dispensing services and expert advice on spectacle lenses, frames and lens options.
• Conducting thorough dispensing consultations to understand patients' individual visual requirements, lifestyle and preferences.
• Taking accurate measurements and ensuring spectacles are fitted comfortably and correctly.
• Advising patients on lens technology, coatings, frame suitability and other optical products.
• Delivering exceptional levels of customer service and building long‑term relationships with patients.
• Carrying out adjustments, repairs and aftercare to ensure patients receive the best possible service.
• Working closely with the optometrists and wider practice team to ensure a smooth and positive patient journey.
• Supporting the day‑to‑day running of the practice and maintaining high professional standards.
• Keeping up to date with developments in optical products, dispensing techniques and best practice.

About You

The ideal candidate will be a qualified Dispensing Optician who is confident in their abilities, professional in their approach and genuinely passionate about providing outstanding patient care.

You will have a strong work ethic, a positive attitude and the motivation to succeed. You will take pride in your work, enjoy helping patients find the best solutions for their needs and be willing to go the extra mile to ensure every patient leaves feeling confident and well cared for.

We are looking for someone who:

• Holds a recognised Dispensing Optician qualification and is registered with the GOC.
• Has excellent dispensing knowledge and a strong understanding of spectacle lenses and frames.
• Demonstrates outstanding communication and interpersonal skills.
• Takes a patient‑focused approach and enjoys building lasting relationships.

• Has a professional manner and a genuine commitment to maintaining high standards.
• Is enthusiastic about their career and keen to contribute positively to the practice.
• Encourages and supports colleagues in delivering excellent service.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to join a practice that believes in investing in its people and creating an environment where expertise is recognised and appreciated.

You will become part of a friendly, community‑focused team that values personal service, professional integrity and the importance of building trust with patients. Rather than simply filling a position, the practice is looking for someone who wants to become a valued member of the team and contribute to its ongoing success.

The part‑time nature of the role also offers an opportunity for a qualified Dispensing Optician seeking a position that fits around their existing commitments while allowing them to continue doing work they enjoy.
