About the Role

We’re looking for a full-time Dispensing Optician to join us in delivering the kind of personalised, patient-first care we’re known for. You’ll play an important role in helping people see and feel their best, by offering expert advice, guiding them through frame and lens choices, and making sure every fit is as comfortable and accurate as it is stylish. If you are not yet a qualified Dispensing Optician, or if you are an experienced Optical Assistant we would be happy to receive your application as well.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys connecting with people, building trust with patients, and being part of a supportive, tight-knit team. You’ll have the time and freedom to do your job properly by providing honest, expert care. Working closely with the rest of the team, you’ll help create a smooth and positive experience for every patient who walks through the door.

You’ll be working with a carefully curated frame range, supported by the latest lens technology, and you’ll have input into stock selection and styling displays. The team is experienced, friendly, and we all pitch in to create a relaxed but professional environment.

As a qualified Dispensing Optician, you’ll use your technical skills and product knowledge to recommend the best lens and frame options for each individual’s visual and lifestyle needs. You’ll take accurate measurements, ensure high-quality fittings, and manage complex prescriptions or adjustments with confidence. You’ll also be on hand to support patients with queries or concerns, help the team resolve any dispensing-related issues, and contribute to the upkeep and organisation of the practice. Most importantly, you’ll be someone who takes pride in great service — and who brings warmth, care, and expertise to every interaction.

Additional Information:

• Our frame selection includes a variety of frames
• We have 2 consulting rooms, and a pre-screen area plus a dedicated room for our Vision Therapy patients
• We are a team of 10
• This role requires you to work Saturdays - we close at 1:15pm
