At Inspired Recruitment Group, we know rummaging through job posts is about as fun as a root canal—so we’ll cut to the chase. This role isn’t just a job; it’s an opportunity to lead, drive results, and keep your patients—and your team—smiling. Ready to step up?

Why this role rocks

• You’re at the helm of a tight-knit, established team in a bustling community practice. Just enough people to matter—but not so many you forget names.
• NHS-driven patient base with plenty of upselling opportunity (within ethical bounds, of course).
• A salary of up to £40K—you’ll know what it means to earn your keep.
• Perks rounding things off nicely—think pension, paid professional fees, discounts, maybe a cheeky bonus or private healthcare.

What success looks like

• Lead from the front. You’re hands-on and ready to inspire by example. Just the right mix of management and patient care.
• Be the commercial captain. Spot every sales opportunity without coming off like a used-car salesman. Maximise conversion rates without compromising standards.
• Get NHS sharp. Familiarity with NHS workings—reimbursements, protocols, the lot.
• Run the show. From stock and rotas to merchandising and performance metrics—this practice runs like clockwork under your watch.
• Build winning teams. You’ll mentor, train, and motivate. You know that engaged staff equals happy patients—and that means results.
• Clinical conscience. GOC-registered dispensing optician (FBDO would be a plus) who balances empathy with efficiency.

What we’re after

• A registered Dispensing Optician (GOC) with management smarts—proven or ready-to-learn.
• You’re commercially savvy yet clinically sound. You know the difference between a lens margin and a patient’s trust.
• Top-notch communicator, administratively agile, and able to keep everything above board (clinical records, compliance, the lot).

Perks (because you deserve them)

• Up to £40K base salary.
• Attractive benefits package: professional fees, pension, training,
• A lively, supportive environment with zero nonsense. You get the support you need to do this job properly.
