Your Role at Leightons

At Leightons, our Dispensing Opticians are the backbone of our exceptional patient care. Unlike other practices, only our qualified Dispensing Opticians manage the dispensing process, ensuring the highest standard of service. You’ll provide tailored consultations, helping customers find eyewear that perfectly suits their prescription, style, and budget. Your expert guidance will keep our customers returning throughout their eye care journey.

We value quality, customer satisfaction, and a supportive team environment, allowing us to deliver an unrivalled experience for our loyal customers. All of our stores are connected by our core values, but are individual in their design and stock, meaning no two days are the same!

Is This Role for You?

This role is ideal for a fully qualified Dispensing Optician with strong communication skills, who values quality over quantity. You should be engaging, motivated, and comfortable working with customers in a consultative manner. You have to have a full UK driving licence, due to the role being mobile.
